After winning last week's Big Stax 300, Chris Horter took a few well deserved days off and recently took his seat in today's final starting flight. 

With the tournament area filled to near capacity for today's Day 1C of the Big Stax 500, a few familiar faces might be missed amid the sea of masses. One face that caught our eye on a recent tour of the room was none other than Chris Horter. If you were away last week, Horter shipped the Big Stax 300 for a $90,000 score after a five-way chop deal. Horter just took his seat around the dinner break and is in the hunt for a second Parx title. 

Horter was not in action over the first two starting flights, but is seated today looking to pull off a similar feat to Kevin Grabel from the last Big Stax series and win both the 300 and 500. While the task in front of Horter is intimidating, the primarily online player is going to take things one hand at a time and let the chips fall where they may.
