Big Stax 300 (Day 1B): Closing in on 400

Level 11 (Blinds 800/1,600/200 ante)
1B Entries: 394 (852 total)


Opponents Cry Uncle when Bludson Plays Any Two

As Day 1B closes in on 400 entries, one player and his stories are standing out near media row.

Vernon "Uncle" Bludson (Brooklyn, NY) is entertaining his table with his poker pearls of wisdom.

"This game is 30% skill, 70% luck," he says, "but we all have the 70% luck factor."

Another player looks confused and says, "I've never heard of the muck factor," which leads into a completely different conversation as Bludson admits that he likes to play any two cards.

Bludson is in the retail business and says he makes the trip to Parx three times a week and usually plays cash, but he couldn't resist the tournament's large field and juicy prize pool.  He says he got the nickname "Uncle" because that's what people cry when Bludson gets them in a headlock.

"Look out if I ever run good in one of these," says Bludson who is sitting with 100k. "I have the worst luck."
