The WPT Regional attracted a field of 196 players with a buy-in of $1,500, creating a prize pool of $285,180. The course helped kick off the main event of the WPT Parx Spring Showdown. Joining Wade were two-time World Poker Tour champion Randal Flowers, PLO specialist and Ante Up strategy columnist Jay Houston and high-stakes regular Matt Glantz. DeepStacks Live, led by WSOP Europe bracelet-holder Tristan “Cre8tive” Wade, offered a curriculum on NLHE tournament play and pot-limit Omaha.

Parx Casino had quite a weekend to close out April.

For his winning hand, Warner made a score of $113,505 and the rest of the table got to enjoy about $32K just for being at the table. Henry may have lost the pot, but he collected a cool $227,009 in doing so. A mere four hours later at a $1-$2 no-limit hold’em table, the remaining jackpot of about $567K hit when the quad 10s of David Henry (Marlton, N.J.) fell to the quad aces of William Lee Warner (Manassas, Va.). Shortly after, the mini bad-beat jackpot hit and shrunk the overall bad-beat total by $50K. On April 26, the bad-beat jackpot was nearing February’s record total of a little more than $636K, when it was posted at a massive $617,524. But it wasn’t long after that another huge payday rocked the Borgata poker room. The biggest payday at the Borgata in April was to Brooklyn’s Jia Liu, who won the Spring Poker Open’s main event and $312,483.
