Big Stax 1100 (Day 1A): Marv Helps Marder Survive

Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 139

Michael Marder (Sewell, NJ) has had himself a tough series over the past two weeks, but things look like they may be turning around (sort of).  Marder found himself short stacked, and shoved his remaining (13) big blinds in over an open from Marvin Siegel.  The button and blinds ended up folding, and Marv would call with action back on him:

Marder: A K
Siegel: Q♣ 10♠

Flop: 7♥ Q♠ J♠
Turn: K
River: 10♣

It looked like Marder's tough luck would continue, as Siegel out flopped him, but the turn would leave Marv searching for a two-outer to win.  The ten gave Marder a straight, and while he's only up to 24,000, it's an improvement from how his Big Stax series has been.
