Big Stax 300 (Day 1B): Representing The Right Coast

Level 2 has just started with the blinds increasing to 75/150, as the total number of entries just hit 500.  Players continue to file into the clubhouse room, as Justin Liberto takes his seat at Table 70, directly to the left of Michael Marder.  Also walking in were Jamie Kersetter and Brian O'Donaghue, both recently returning from Las Vegas and the WSOP.

Like Liberto, Brian made an incredibly deep run in Event 49 - $1,500 NL Hold'em, as he bested all but one in the field, falling just short of his first WSOP bracelet.  O'Donaghue would fall to Barny Boatman in his heads up battle, but would take home over $338,000 as a consilation prize.  With that cash Brian's lifetime earning would soar over the $775,000, but he's still yet to record a cash here at Parx.  Brian was another of the class professionals to put up a great showing, and is a great representative of the poker community we have here in the northeast.
