Structures to be released soon, and I am really anticipating a very well run series, with awesome structures, After all it's been pre approved by Chainsaw...

woohoo count me in for the 150k gtd

Really excited for this series - I spoke with Matt Glantz at the Harrah's WSOPc main event and he briefly went over the structures with me.

They definitely are GREAT!!!! It goes from 50-100 to 100-200 but we start with a lot of chips and it includes every other level you could want.

I mean - a main event with 50,000 in chips and great structures???? Can't beat it imo!!!

Thanks Matt

lots of chips

Do you think they'll put a $2-300,000 gtd on the $500 event? Seems odd that they wouldn't. Either way I'm stoked and can't wait.

But how long are the levels?

Depends on the tournament but if I recall - $300 = 40 min levels(might increase after a certain level, not sure though)

$500 = 50 min levels but again, not 100% sure

$1500 = 60 min levels

Should be a great series!!!

From what my friend Joedeertay said after talking to Matt during the Fall Open, the earlier levels/days will be faster paced. The later levels will be slower time wise and blind wise if I recall correctly. Regardless, looks like a great series and I hope to play at least the $340 "bird".

We are doing something new and different for the Parx Big Stax. I started from scratch on these structures and this schedule because I have had some ideas for some time now how I feel tournaments should be designed looking forward. I can't get into specific dates or other details much until next week when we 'officially' announce. Series runs Feb 6-18.

The 3 main event buyins will be $300+30, $500+50, and $1500+100.
Multiple starting days - unlimited re-entry til end of Day 1s.
30k, 40k, and 50k starting stacks.
Structure is the same for all 3. 45 min levels on all Day 1s. 90 min levels day 2 and beyond. (Chainsaw approved)


I am looking forward to something new for you guys and think you are really going to enjoy it. I will put out a blog explaining everything along with the official schedule release as soon as I can.

Got a few hotel partners now with deals as low as $59/nt 7 days a week

THANKS MATT!!!

Really looking forward to this series - I mean - 30,000 chips for a $300 buy-in???

You just can't beat that!!!

wug 330- 200k stud8 event, philly was big on stud now lets bring stud8 mtt game back

In more serious terms will there be gtd on other mtts in the series ?

i hope youre including a HOSE and O/8 too for us mixed gamers.. regardless im super excited for this!

Super excited about this series. Can't wait to see how it goes. Best thing Parx did was bringing on Matt to help out. A clear #2 in tournament poker behind Borgata in the area.... It's getting closer with every series. See you all there.

This tournament will be all the reason I need to make my first trip to parx

Still think its funny that people still believe just bc u get a lot of chips to start it has to be a well structured tournament. I could give you 100,000 chips to start but that doesnt mean anything. Usually tournaments that start you with a lot of chips have very little play in the end when it matters.

Luckily Matt has done a good job in designing these events with 45 mins on day 1s and 90 mins after. That is the key..not the starting stacks. We will see how they turn out but he has definately set them up for success.

I realize that but as I mentioned in an earlier post, Matt briefly went over the structures with me and they were excellent - with let's say 30,000 or 40,000 in starting chips - you can skip 75-150 level and still have lots of play relative to the big blind.

Obviously though, if we started with 30,000 in chips and the structure was like 50-100, 100-200, 200-400, 300-600, etc - that would not be so good.

100% agree, but it does had value as far as marketing and getting people there

Definitely thinking of playing in the "300 + 30" tourney! I'm really hoping for the schedule to be posted soon so that I can plan days off from work!

Really interested to see the tourney structures - blinds per level, durations of each level, and payout tables. The daily/ weekly tourneys currently at Parx are definitely missing specific levels which does result in major variance/ shove-fests early on...

gl in your mtt games

When will the full schedule be up?

As Matt mentioned, official announcement (which I would assume should include the schedule and blind structures) should be posted next week.

any idea what the levels will be? (not min. but actual chip levels)

They haven't been released yet, but I anticipate them being very good. Should be announced this coming week.

Man, I hope this schedule is posted soon cos' I can't wait! I'm checking their website and this forum every couple of hours like some kid! lol

PARX............. can we please get the schedule. Some of us need to take vacations days at work and make arrangements............ Need to see full schedule.... Thanks
