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.

'I had nothing to lose,' said Deutsch of the heads-up battle. 'I'm thinking one thing; I've got second place. I didn't picture this.'

Deutsch chipped away at the lead and won a couple of big pots, at one point he avoided elimination with jack-ten offsuit in a preflop all in against Huynh's ace-jack.

'It kept getting better from there,' said Deutsch. 'I really got some momentum going.'

Long Grind to the Final Table

Day 3 started with 42 players, and it took nearly 11 hours to reach the nine-handed final table. Coming back from dinner break, 14 players remained, and it took another hour after that for the next elimination, with David Clarke going out in 14th place ($6,182).

Two more eliminations happened within the following hour, but after that, the tournament remained an 11-player affair for another two-plus hours.

The floodgates broke in Level 31, however, with Adam Pepper (11th -$7,888) and Joey Deforca (10th- $7,888) going out within minutes of each other, sending the remaining nine players to the final table.

Bouyan Han (9th - $10,019) went out on one of the first hands of the final table, trimming the field down to eight.

Final Table Action

Jeffrey Giordano was next to go, taking eighth place after suffering a knockout at the hands of Avunoori.

Things started to get wild at the final table after that, with William Corvino (7th - $16,557) and Sumeet Wayachal (6th - $21,53) both knocked out in the same hand by Avunoori. The trio got into a three-way preflop all in with Avunoori’s pocket kings holding up to eliminate both opponents.

Payouts

Shortly after that, Michael Wolf (5th - $28,637) found himself on the wrong end of a set-over-set cooler, losing his stack to Huynh when Wolf’s eights full were bested by Huynh’s queens full.

Four-handed play continued to involve big pots, including a massive pot won by Deutsch in a hand that began with Deutsch limping in from the cutoff, and eventually taking down a nearly 10-million chip pot at Michael Michnik’s expense. Michnik went out a few hands later.
