Poker at Parx

The casino is also home to a state-of-the-art 80-plus-table private poker room that hosts live games, such as Limit and No-limit Texas Holdem, Omaha 8or Better and Pot Limit Omaha, on top of action-packed weekly tournaments. The updated tournament and event schedule is available for viewing here.

As for poker promotions, Parx Casino has a bad beat jackpot (worth $148,074 as of January 2017) that gives literally everyone at the table a chance to win. All it takes is for one player to lose a $20 or higher pot with quad sixes or higher and the jackpot gets split among all active players. Forty percent goes to the player with the bad beat hand, 20% goes to the pot winner and the remaining 40% is divided evenly between all the other players.

Now, if you ever go hungry (or thirsty) while playing, the poker room also features a full-service menu and bar so you won’t have to go far to fuel up.

Dining

Aside from the dining and beverage options in the poker room, there are a whole lot more to choose from outside. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for a light snack or a full-course meal, you’ll surely find something to suit your taste. Don’t believe us? See the full list of restaurants here.

Online alternative

Unfortunately, even though Parx Casino is hard to beat when it comes to providing an awesome gaming experience, you sometimes just don’t have the time (and energy) to get dressed up and get out of the house to play. In cases like these, online real money poker is the next best thing.

The thing about online poker, however, is that some platforms purposely make it hard for you to win, and when you do, they take a cut from your earnings. Well, you won’t have to worry about any of that here at SafeClub.com.

First off, we don’t charge our members any split pots or percentages. In fact, we work more like an Escrow account than a traditional house or poker website. This means that you get to take home all of your winnings – down to the very last cent. You did the all work; it’s only fair that you get all the money.

Second, we take fairness and security seriously. Here’s how we do it:

  1. We make sure that only you can see your cards at all times using our proprietary SafeSight™ Firewall. This tool works so well that even our own team has no way of peeking into your hand.
  1. We don’t allow any SafeClub employee to play in any of the games to ensure that you’ll only be playing against people who in no way have any unfair advantage over you.
  1. We use a card-dealing tool called True Shuffle™ that works exactly like an actual human dealer. This guarantees that you only get truly random cards every time. You won’t ever have to worry about our system purposely dealing you bad hands just to keep you from winning.

In fact, we genuinely want you to win. This is why we regularly post free poker guides tips and tricks on our website to help you get better – and that’s on top of the three handy poker tools that we specifically designed to help you take your game to an entirely new level: Card Counter, Pattern Identifier and Opponent Tracker.

Now, if everything we’ve talked about in this section so far hasn’t convinced you yet, then maybe knowing that we donate 100% of our earnings to the Winning Hands Foundation® will? That’s right. You get to help your community by simply playing poker. Who would say no to that?

The Parx Big Stax 300 looked like it was Dan Sweeney's to win since the final levels of Day 2. On Monday's Day 3, Sweeney made victory a reality.

Sweeney started the final day with the chip lead and stayed atop the leaderboard for nearly the entire day en route to taking home the championship at Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The final three players - Sweeney, Anthony Chin and Christopher Laieta - came to terms on a three-way deal that ended with Sweeney being declared the winner.

'I tried to not go too crazy, not to be too much of a chip bully when I had an advantage.'

Sweeney took home $95,744 per the deal, with both Chin and Larieta earning $65,000. Sweeney had 52 million of the 67 million chips in play when the table went three-handed.

'I felt like I was going to win,' Sweeney said. 'I felt like I was at the top of my game.'

'I tried to not go too crazy, not to be too much of a chip bully when I had an advantage. I picked my spots correctly, I think. I made a few mistakes, but that's ok.'

For Sweeney, who grew up in the Bensalem area, the Big Stax 300 victory was a hometown win.

Sweeney Surges on Day 3

Sweeney ended Day 2 on a surge and came into Day 3 with the overall chip lead among the returning 40 players.

Sweeney's run to the final table began with a huge pot against Ryan O'Connell in which two of the biggest stacks in the room went head-to-head. Sweeney came away with the pot, which gave him more than 10 million chips in distance over the rest of the field.

Sweeney remained as the chip leader up until the final table, and when the final nine sat down Sweeney had a 12-million chip advantage over Chin.

That lead stood until a huge pot between Sweeney and Laieta unfolded, which Laieta won with what appeared to be a river bluff. Sweeney surrendered the chip lead for the first time on Day 3, with Laieta taking a commanding lead instead.

Sweeney got back to even with Laieta, however, after eliminating Gregory Fishberg in a pocket jacks versus ace-king all in, with Sweeney's jacks holding. Laieta and Sweeney were even at around 23 million after the elimination.

Despite the presence of short stacks at the table, Sweeney and Laieta continued to battle head-to-head in big pots. Laieta got the best of Sweeney in a hand that saw Laieta four-bet on the flop and get a fold.

Sweeney got the best of Laieta in the biggest hand of the night, however, making a correct call with just ace-high against Laieta's king-high bluff.

'We both tried to get tricky in certain spots,' said Sweeney of the battle between him and Laieta. 'One worked out for him. The most important thing was that one that worked out for me. I think that's what really just brought it home. If I don't win that hand, that call with ace-king high..... it was just a good call. And it put me here.'

That hand put Sweeney in the lead for good and put him in position to claim the Parx Big Stax 300 trophy.
