We have our first players to eclipse the 300,000 mark, and it is Kryztof Mochol (Penndel, PA).  Mochol is a tournament regular here at Parx, but tends to play more daily tournaments than Big Stax events.  Mochol has $15,325 in career earnings, with his largest cash coming in 2010 when he finished runner-up in a seasonal mini-series at Borgata ($8,515).

The numbers have been updated on the tournament clock, now showing that 270 players are active in this field.  With that information, we can give you the chip average at the moment, which equates to 73,000.

The payouts have also began scrolling on the tournament clock, showing a piece of information that many people want to know. First place in the Big Stax VIII 300 will be over $90,000!!!  That's just an incredible number for a $300 buy-in event.
