Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania played host to another Big Stax tournament series. These Big Stax events have become community favorites, drawing large numbers over the years, and this latest installment, the Big Stax XVI, was no different. The highlight of the festival was the trio of Big Stax XVI 300, Big Stax XVI 500, and Big Stax XVI 1100 events, attracted a combined 3,261 entries and generating nearly $1.6 million in combined prize pools.
Although the Big Stax XVI 1100 event provided the biggest first-place prize, the story from the series was Kevin Grabel, who made history when he won both the Big Stax XVI 300 and Big Stax XVI 500 events for prizes of $78,450 and $43,000, respectively.
