After the elimination of Kyle Brock in seventh, Park scored another knockout. It happened when Sarmiento five-bet all in with pocket kings only to have Park roll over aces. The bullets held and Sarmiento hit the rail in sixth place for $18,372.

Carlos Alvarado then ran queens into the aces of John Alesi to fall in fifth place, while Dan DaConti busted in fourth after his king-jack failed to get there against Park’s ace-jack all in preflop.

In what would turn out to be the final hand of the tournament, Park raised the button and Alesi three-bet it. Park shoved and Alesi called off holding pocket nines, which were flipping against ace-king. A king on the flop gave Park the lead, and he sent Alesi out the door in third place after an ace on the river improved him to two pair.

At that point, the final two players agreed on an ICM chop, which meant Park was named champ while Jackob Datashvili was runner-up for $81,733.

The Parx Big Stax, which runs through August 22, continues this week with a series of side events and satellites before the Big Stax 1100 this Friday.

Have a look at our Pai Gow Poker Strategy which mimics the way that the house would play below!1) If you happen to have been dealt absolutely no pair, you should place your highest card in your back hand and whatever your next two highest cards in the front whatever they may be.2) When you’re dealt one pair, you should always keep it in your back hand, which is the five card hand, and move your two highest cards to your front hand. This is due to the fact that if you do the opposite, you’ll be fouling your hand. This will give you a better chance of beating the dealer, even though they are both not the best hands you could have.3) If you happen to be dealt a two pair, which consists of two different pairs, you should split them between each hand. Put the highest ranking pair in the back hand and the lower ranking pair in the front hand. Pai gow poker winning strategy list.
