Big Stax 300 (Day 1C): Second Time A Charm?
Level 5 - Blinds 200/400/50
Mike Dentale had no luck with the first bullet, as posted on Twitter, as Antonio Walker send Mike back to the cage, but since he has been back, he's built up a stack just under 100,000.
Well busted my first bullet @parxpokerroom with AA on the button to AK of Antonio in the small blind.

Big Stax 300 (Day 1C): Growing Field
Level 4 - Blinds 150/300/50
The field begins to grow as there are now 760 entries, which brings our prize pool north of $215,000. The trend that we are seeing today is re-entries, and lots of them. With today being the last chance to enter, players are taking as many shots as needed to put themselves in position to grab a share of the prize.

Big Stax 300 (Day 1C): North Of The Border And Back
Level 2 - 75/150
Mike Dentale (Brooklyn, NY) heads into the clubhouse room for the first time this series, and first time since finishing 4th in the Big Stax 1,500 in February. Dentale cashed for just under $55,000, and has since concentrated on the bigger buy-in events on the circuit. From the WPT Seminole Hard Rock to WPT Montreal, he's had no shortage of frequent flyer miles.
Dentale is no stranger to cashes or deep runs, and hope to better his final table performance from months ago.
