Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dentale Dodges Bad Spot

Level 28 - Blinds 75,000/150,000/25,000

Mike Dentale is on fumes with with just over 10 big blinds (1,600,000), and got a way from a potential hand that would send him home.  In a blind v. blind situation, Jonas put in enough to cover Dentale, and Mike thought for a while.  He finally folded, showing a pair of fours, while Jonas showed him a pair of fives.  He would of been in a terrible spot, but is still alive.

Level 27 -  Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000

Level 27 - Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000

Jonas Wexler - 9,000,000

Mike Dentale - 4,000,000

Danny Warchol - 3,100,000

The reason the update took so long for chip counts was to wait for a big hand to end.  Jonas Wexler fired a river bet of 1,775,000 on a board of 3♣ 4 5♣ J♠ 10, and Warchol was in the tank for a solid (10) minutes.  He finally threw a chip in making the call and Wexler flipped over A 2 (flopped the wheel).  Wexler has taken an overwhelming chip lead with that win.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Tough Board

Level 27 - Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000

In just a sick hand, Jonas Wexler and Danny Warchol get all the chips in pre-flop (with Jonas covered).  It's the A-K of Jonas against the A-2 of Warchol.  The board runs out Q 5 8 5 8, and Warchol gets saved with a chop!!!! Wexler walked away with his hands on his heads, and they chop the antes and blinds.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Wexler Arrives

Level 27 - Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000

Jonas Wexler did return, only missing one hand.  Since returning we've seen a few flops, with Jonas winning two hands, and Dentale winning one.

Jonas Wexler - 6,100,000
Mike Dentale - 4,200,000

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Where's Jonas

We are just waiting for Jonas Wexler to return to the table, but if he doesn't show soon the cards will be in the air.  And as we type that, the cards are in the air without Wexler at the table, blinds are 50,000/100,000/10,000.

For those wondering who aren't in the casino, Mike Dentale did get a penalty for exposing his card in the big hand with Wexler.  For those who know Mike....he wasn't pleased!!!

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dinner Break

Players are going on dinner break in (5) minutes, and they will return around 8:00pm.  We will continue our coverage at that time.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Pot Of The Day

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

Mike Dentale Tanks...Jonas Doesn't Move An Inch

There was a crowd of about 20 people watching what would be the pot of the tournament.  The board ran out 5 9 3 9 2, and Mike Dentale had called Wexler's 1,000,000 check raise on the turn.  Once the 2 hit the river, Jonas announced himself all-in, and we would have about a 7 minute tank from Mike.  He then turned over a 9, showing Jonas how strong his hand was.  Jonas was stone faced as Dentale talked....and stared....and talked...and showed his one card.  Dentale had the crowd surrounding the tabled, on the edge of their seats about what he would do.  Dentale eventually folded, and Jonas is now at 5,900,000 (Dentale is down to 4,000,000).

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 4th Place - Shulman ($35,114)

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

TJ Shulman (Boyton Beach, FL)
4th Place - $35,114

TJ Shulman was the short stack at the table with 800,000, and got it in against Danny Warchol:

Shulman: A K          Warchol: 7 7

Flop: 7 5 5

Turn: 6

Turn: 6

It was pretty much over for Shulman on the flop, and a tough day for TJ.  He played as well as he could, but could not find himself any good spots.  Danny now chips up to 5,800,000, and sits in second place with three players left.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Mid-Level Chip Counts

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

Here are the updated chip counts:

  1. TJ Shulman - 800,000
  2. Danny Warchol - 5,400,000
  3. Jonas Wexler - 3,800,000

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dentale Picks Up Nice Pot

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

Mike Dentale had already called two streets from Warchol on a Q J 8 7 3 board, and was faced with yet a third bet on the river.  Mike was doing some talking while he was thinking, about how he hadn't seen Danny fire three streets.  Mike had the calling amount in his hand, and was going back and forth with himself.  He finally made the call, Danny said he had a queen, and Dentale flipped over A-Q.  Mike is now over 5,000,000, while Danny drops down just below that same mark.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Shulman The Short Stack

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

After losing a sizable pot to Jonas Wexler, TJ Shulman is now the short stack of the remaining four players.  He sits with 1,200,000 in front of him (20 big blinds), while Jonas chips up to 3,800,000.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Warchol Chip Leader

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

After Warchol busts Jared Jaffee he takes a commanding chip lead with 6,600,000.  The player who trails him is Mike Dentale with 4,200,000.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 5th Place - Jaffee ($27,403)

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000

Jared Jaffee (Brooklyn, NY)
5th Place - $27,403

On the firsrt hand back from break, on a board of J♣ 10♠ 9 A♣, Jared Jaffee bets 400,000 on the turn, and gets raised by Danny Warchol (enough to put Jaffee all-in).   Jaffee thinks for a moment, talks to himself quickly, and then decides to call:

Warchol: J 9          Jaffee: 10 9

It's a cooler for Jaffee as his two pair is in terrible shape, and when the 4 spikes the river he would be sent home in 5th place.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Chip Counts

Here are the chip counts coming back from break:

  1. TJ Shulman - 1,900,000

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Jaffee Now Shorty

Level 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000

Jared Jaffee (Brooklyn, NY) is now the short stack at the table, holding 1,500,000 (38 big blinds).  He just lost a pot to Mike Dentale, and after Mike lets Jared see his hand, Jared exclaims "How do you do it?"  We never heard what the hand was, but Jared is still in good spirits regardless of his downward trend.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dentale v. Jaffee

Level 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000

On a board of 5♣ 7 9♠ Q♠, after Mike Dentale had already called Jaffe's 300,000 bet on the flop, Jared once more fired out (this time for 425,000).  Dentale raised to 1,000,000 and Jaffee went into the tank.  Jaffee eventually folded, telling Mike that "Only two hands beat me."  Dentale told him it was a great fold, showed an ace, and told Jared that he played the hand very tricky.

Mike Dentale - 3,800,000

Jared Jaffee - 1,950,000

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 6th Place - Taylor ($21,583)

Level 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000


Walter Taylor (Morristown, NJ)
6th Place - $21,583

The flop came out Q♣ 8♣ 8 in a hand featuring Walter Taylor and Mike Dentale.  Taylor fired out 125,000 and was called by Dentale.  The turn brought the 9, and Taylor postured for a few moments before putting out a bet of 500,000.  Dentale declared himself all-in, and Taylor immediately called, causing Mike to say, "Another cooler....I have a boat."  The hands were turned over:

Taylor: J 10 (turned straight)            Dentale: 8♠ 9♠ (turned full house)

Walter was drawing dead, and would only be left with 20,000 after the chips were counted down.  He would be eliminated the very next hand.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Cooler No More

Level 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000

Back from break we had a sizable pot when Danny Warchol had K-K on a jack high board against the Q-Q of Dentale.  Surprisingly the chips didn't get all-in, but Dentale took a huge dent to his stack.  Warchol went up to 3,600,000, while Dentale dropped down below 1,700,000.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Break Time Updates

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Gionni DeMers (Jackson, NJ)
7th Place - $18,236

Jared Jaffee opened the pot for 75,000 and was called by Danny Warchol.  Gionni DeMers then pushed all-in for 850,000, and Jaffee quickly folded behind.  Warchol mentioned that he thought DeMers would try to squeeze, and three chips in for the call:

DeMers: K♣ J              Warchol: 5♣ 5

Flop: 2 4♠ 8

Turn: 5

River: 6

Warchol was correct in his read, and would have DeMers drawing dead on the turn.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dentale v. Warchol II

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Once again the two players were matched against each other.  This time though it would be Warchol who would push on the turn for 770,000, and eventually watch as Mike folded.  The board was 2 3 5 9 when Danny shoved, after Dentale called both a pre-flop and flop bet.  There was a small amount of verbal sparring during the hand, but cooler heads prevailed and apologies accepted.

Danny Warchol - 1,300,000

Mike Dentale - 2,700,000

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dentale v. Warchol

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

On a board of A 3 A 2 J, Mike Dentale called a check-rasie on the flop and a turn bet from Danny Warchol (275,000 flop/205,000 turn).  The river went check-check, and Warchol would announce "two pair."  Dentale tabled A-K and would take down the 1,000,000 pot.

Mike Dentale - 3,300,000

Danny Warchol - 1,200,000

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 8th Place - Amjadi ($15,229)

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Max Amjadi (Mamora, NJ)
8th Place - $15,229

Jonas Wexler opened the pot for 65,000 and Mike Dentale flatted behind from the button.  Max Amjadi was in the small blind, and he shipped it in for 365,000.  Wexler folded and Dentale went into the tank for a solid four minutes.  He verbalized the fact that he was hoping it was a race and that he really didn't want to give Amjadi chips.  He finally decided to make the call, and Mike was in bad shape:

Amjadi: Q♠Q♣               Dentale: 2♠2

Flop: 2♣ 5♣ 6♣

Turn: 6♠ 

River: 10

Dentale out-flops Max Amjadi, but still had a handful of outs on the flop (any queen or any club).  Things looked bleaker after Dentale turned a full house, and the river would brick for Max, sending him home in 8th place.

Mike Dentale - 2,700,000

Max Amjadi - Eliminated

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): The Short Stack

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Max Amjadi

The short stack of the eight players remaining is now Max Amjadi (Mamora, NJ).  Max came into the day with 756,000, but it now sitting on 300,000 (10 big blinds).

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 9th Place - Mazza ($11,398)

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Gene Mazza (Elizabeth, NJ)
9th Place - $11,398

Gene Mazza had only 40,000 chips left when he pushed all-in under the gun, and it was going to be tough sailing as six players called!!  If Gene was to win the hand he would chip up to over 300,000, but on the flop of K♣ 10♠ 6♣, Danny Warchol fired out into the field (which folded around).  Warchol turned over K 10 against the A 2 of Mazza.  Gene would spike an ace on the river for the needle, but it would still be the end of his day.

Danny Warchol - 2,700,000

Gene Mazza - Eliminated

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 10th Place - Galvin ($8,342)

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Greg Galvin (Port Jefferson, NY)
10th Place - $8,342

Danny Warchol opened the pot to 65,000, and Gene Mazza made the call after thinking for a brief moment.  Greg Galvin was next to act and pushed in for a total of 345,000.  Warchol begrudgingly made the call, and Mazza folded behind:

Warchol: Q♣ 10♣            Galvin: A Q♥

Flop: K♠ 8♣ J♣

Turn: A

River: 9


Danny would flop a huge hand with a flush and open ended draw, and even though Greg made two pair on the turn, he couldn't fill up to beat Warchol's straight.

Danny Warchol - 2,200,000

Gre Galvin - Eliminated

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): DeMers v. Taylor

Level 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000/4,000

Gionni DeMers had pushed out a a river bet of 106,000 on a board of A 7 7 8 A.  Walter Taylor check-raised him to 375,000, and DeMers sheepishly called.  Taylor tapped the table and showed Q 10, while Gionni flipped over A J and took down the pot worth 1,100,000.

Players are going on a (10) minute break at the end of this level, which is in two minutes.

Dentale Doubles
Mike Dentale At February's Big Stax 1500 Final Table

This isn't Mike Dentale's (Brooklyn, NY) first rodeo, he should be comfortable in this situation.  Dentale finished fourth in this event during our inaugural Big Stax Series ($53,000), as he watched his Q-Q go down to the A-J of eventual winner Robert Boyko.  Mike has since gone on to play in only larger buy-in events, and couldn't pass up the chance to better his finish from earlier in the year.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Huge Pot...Final Table

    Level 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000/4,000

    Alek Divokovsky (New York, NY) is the final table bubble boy, and he goes out in a tough way.  On a board of 5 7 8, Alek flops the straight with 4 6, but TJ Shulman held 6 9 (nut straight), and the fireworks would ensue.  Shulman would win a pot worth 3,500,000, and go into the final in great shape.  Once the chips are bagged and verified, we will post the counts and a final table preview.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Shulman Busts Gliniecki...Final Table Bubble

    Level 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000/4,000

    As we were posting the chip counts, TJ Shulman flopped the flush on an ace high board.  Gliniecki and Shulman got all the chips in, with Gliniecki drawing dead (with just an ace).  After the next elimination we will have reached our final table and play will stop for the night.  Gliniecki will collect $8,342 for his finish, while Shulman chips up to over 2,000,000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Still Slow...Break Upcoming

    Level 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000

    We are stuck at 13 players still, with Jonas Wexler still the chip leader.  Players will be going on break in (15) minutes, and they will then return to play two more levels (through Level 24), or until the final table is reached.  In both the Big Stax 300 & 500 we made the final table first, and this tournament has less total chips in play than both.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Lost Two More

    Level 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000/2,000

    We lose two more players in back to back hand as David Clarke goes home in 15th place, and David Inselberg gets knocked out in 14th by Tomasz Gliniecki.  Both players will be collecting $6,839 for their finishes, and we are creeping closer and closer to the final table bubble.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): 16th-18th Places ($5,820)

    The following players cashed for $5,820:

    16. Steven Ritchie (Austin, TX)

    18. Marshall White (Boone, NC)

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Break

    Players are now on a (10) minute break, and will return to Level 22 and blinds of 10,000/20,000/2,000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): POT OF THE TOURNAMENT!!!

    Level 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000

    And there you have it...Jonas Wexler (South Hampton, PA) is over 4,000,000!!!! It was the two biggest stacks of the tournament going at it, on a flop of K Q 3.  The action was five-bet all-in from Glantz, and Jonas called:

    Flop: K Q♣ 3

    Glantz: 10 J              Wexler: K♠ Q

    Turn: 6♣

    River: 2♠

    Glantz would miss both his draws and Jonas Wexler is now the overwhelming chip leader of the remaining 16 players, with over 4,000,000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Calm Before The Storm

    Level 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000

    The action has slowed down considerably since returning from dinner.  It's not surprise being that the action from the first moment today was fast and furious.  Jonas Wexler continues to lead the field, while just adding to his already 2,300,000 stack.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Shafman Busts On Two-Outer

    Level 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000

    The first hand after dinner break we had an all-in pot between Matt Shafman (West Orange, NJ) and Walter Taylor (Morristown, NJ).  Shafman was ahead with AA against Taylor's KK, and everything was going as planned for Matt until a river king.  He was left with 6,000 after the hand, and would be sent home....by Taylor....who had kings again!!!

    Shafman is out in 20th ($5,093), while Taylor chips up to just under 1,000,000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Coming Back From Dinner

    Players are about to take their seats again, and will be playing down to the final table or the end of Level 24.  Blinds coming back in Level 21 with blinds at 8,000/16,000/2,000.  On the last hand before dinner break we lost Norman Rogers (Philadelphia, PA) in 21st place, taking home $5,093.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Dinner Break

    Players have agreed to extend the dinner break to (90) minutes, so play will resume at 9:00pm.  Here are the top three chip counts remaining:

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): In The Money!!!!

    Level 20 - Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000

    We have reached the money as Andrew Wu (Edison, NJ) is the bubble boy.  He left himself with less than the small blind on his final hand, and on a board of 7 8 9 10 5, Jared Jaffee announced two pair (after Jaffee and Glantz checked each street).  Jaffee showed  8 9, while Andrew still hadn't looked at his cards.  Everyone surrounded Andrew as he looked, and he unfortunately tabled 7 8 for a lesser two pair.

    The tournament directors are now redrawing the final 27 players.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Shorty Comes From Behind

    Level 20 - Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000

    Gionni DeMers is all-in for his last 160,000, and is called by Norman Rogers.  It's the A 9 of DeMers against the A Q of Rogers.  The field was one card from the cash, until a 9 spiked the river and gave DeMers the double.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): On The Bubble

    Level 20 - Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000

    Matthew Kustafik (Doylestown, PA) has just been eliminated, and we are now on the stone bubble.  Play will be hand for hand until the next player busts.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): John Allan Grinds

    Level 20 - Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000

    John Allan Hinds was one of the players grinding the short stack during this crucial money bubble period.  He just doubled through Matt Shafman, as Hinds's QQ held up against Shafman's 10 10.  29 players still remain, with a handful of players riding stacks of 15 big blinds or less.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Great Time To Double

    Level 20 - Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000

    Matt Glantz opened the action with a raise to 24,000.  Jared Jaffee was next to act and went all-in for 168,000.  The action folded around to Jen Shahade in the big blind, and after asking for a count, she declared herself all-in as well (370,000).  Glantz folded behind:

    Jaffee: AK           Shahade: J J

    Flop: 3♣ 9♠ 10♣

    Turn: 4♠

    River: K

    Jaffee gets a well needed double up to 360,000, while Jen is down to just under 200,000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Returning From Break

    Players are now returning from break, and during the last hand before break we lost one player (29 now remain).

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Break Time

    Players are going on a (10) minute break, and they will return to blinds of 6,000/12,000/2,000 (Level 19).  The chip average for the 30 players remaining is 533,000.  The players will return to play Level 19 and then go on dinner break.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Siegel Busts

    Level 19 - Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000

    Marvin Siegel is out in 31st, just short of the money, as he's sent home by TJ Shulman.  Marvin was all-in for his last 134,000 pre-flop:

    Siegel: A♠ 3♣           Shulman: A 6

    Flop: 3♠ 4♣ 7♣

    Turn: 5

    River: Q♣

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Ruszkay Eliminated

    Level 19 - Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000

    Samantha Ruszkay has just been eliminated, sending home the second half of our poker couple (Matthew Burnitz's fiancé).  33 players now remain with a chip average of 484,000 (48 big blinds).

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Burnitz Busts

    Level 19 - Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000

    We approached Table 50 after the flop of K♣ 8♣ 8, and a player that just moved to the table puts out a bet of 58,000.  Burnitz announces himself all-in (total of 78,000), and his opponent calls:

    Burnitz: A♠ A      Player X: Q♣ 3♣

    Turn: 4♣

    River: 2

    Burnitz is out in 35th, falling one table short of the money.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): "TOD" Gets Even Better

    Level 19 - Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000

    We are sure to hear it on Twitter very shortly, as Mike Dentale (Brooklyn, NY) heads over to Table 48.  It's turned into a who's who of the tournament at that table, and now we have a lot of history between certain players seated.  Here is a recap of who is there:

    Dan Buzgon
    Mike Dentale
    Jennifer Shahade
    David Insleberg
    Matt Glantz
    Jared Jaffee

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): @Munmunny & Queen Eliminated

    Level 19 - Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000

    We are now down to 37 players as both Alex Queen and Manh Nyugen are eliminated.  The chip average among the remaining players is 432,000 (43 big blinds).

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Back From Break

    Level 19 - Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000

    Players have returned from break, and we have lost one since the level started (39 remain).  It looks like the players at Table 48 are still enjoying each others company:


    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Maccaroni Out

    Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000

    Matthew Maccaroni (Hamilton, NJ) has been grinding the short stack since the beginning of Day 2, and unfortunately ran his A J♠ into K K♠.  The board ran out 2♠ 3♠ 4♠, but his opponent had his suit covered.  Matt would need an ace or five, and could not manage to catch up on the turn or river.

    There are now 40 players remaining, with a chip average is exactly 400,000.  Players will be on break in (6) minutes, and return to Level 19 and blinds of 5,000/10,000/1.000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Down To 45

    Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000

    We are now over halfway through Level 18 and down to 45 players (chip average 350,000).  Since returning from break we lost Big Stax $550 6-Max winner Kyle Bowker (Walton, NY).

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Lord Of The Rings

    Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000

    Peter Ippolito (East Meadow, NY) has just been eliminated by Jonas Wexler, as the four time WSOPC ring winner fell to the chipleader.  Wexler is now over 1,200,000, and continues to run over his table.

    One player who is at Wexler's table that has managed to see some success while Jonas isn't in hands is Renata Colache.  Rentata has over 550,000 and hopes to continue her run of cashes in this series.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Lemke Eliminated

    Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000

    Brian Lemke (Norristown, PA) was pretty short stacked throughout Day 2, and he got his final 60,000 in against Alek Divotovsky (New York, NY).  Lemke was behind and in bad shape with A♠ 5♠ against the A♣ J of Alek.  Divotovsky never relinquished the lead, and would send Lemke home a few tables short of the money.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Coren Eliminated

    Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000

    Ben Coren was one of our final table players from the Big Stax 500 (finishing 7th for $6,993), but he couldn't match that deep run in this event.  He was just eliminated by Patrick Chan (Brooklyn, NY), and after starting the day with 160,000, Chan is now up to 500,000.

    54 players now remain.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Updated Chip Counts

    Here are some updated chip counts from break:

    Jonas Wexler - 1,000,000

    Mike Dentale - 640,000

    Manh Nguyen - 560,000
    Danny Warchol - 530,000

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Color Up Break

    Players are going on a (10) minute break, and when they return the blinds will be going up to 4,000/8,000/1,000.  With 58 players remaining, the chip average is 276,000.  We will bring you some updated counts during the break.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): First "TOD" Loss

    Level 17 - Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000

    Table 48 has seen it's first notable bust, as Ross Gottleib (North Brunswick, NJ) is seen walking away from the table.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Wexler Running Good

    Level 17 - Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000

    We approached Table 50 as the action was already on the river, with the board K 9♣ 7♣ 2 3.  Jonas Wexler (South Hampton, PA) had a river bet of 115,000 that his opponent was tanking.  The call was eventually made and Wexler turned over AA, and the table all had something to say, as this was the third time he's had aces in the past 30 minutes.

    Wexler has now taken over the chip lead from Matt Glantz, building his stack to over 700,000.

    Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Table of Death Updates/Departures

    Level 17 - Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000

    Dan Buzgon (Seat 2) - 280,000
    Ross Gottlieb (Seat 4) - 390,000
    Jennifer Shahade (Seat 5) - 420,000

    Matt Glantz (Seat 8) - 640,000

    Level 17 - Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000

    Alex Queen (Bethlehem, PA) fired a few bullets yesterday, decided he had contributed enough to the prize pool, and headed home.  It was then a surprise to see his name on the Day 2 chip counts, and we found out he came back before 1:30am to register for the starting stack (50,000).  Not a bad move for Queen as he now sits with 210,000, and has managed to run up that starting stack:
