Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Day 1A Entries: 159
We're not trying to make these early stages of the day all about Marvin Siegel, but he is continuing to live up to his Mr. Day 1 nickname. Marvin just became the first player to eclipse the 100,000 mark, busting Sal Pipitone in the process. The action between the two was caught on the flop, as Sal led out for 2,000 on a board of 5♠ 9♦ 2♥. Marvin through in a min-raise to 4,000, with Pipitone rearranging his chips to make the call. The dealer paired the board on the turn with the 2♦, with Marvin putting out a 12,000 bet after Sal's check.
Pipitone was deep in the tank, counting out his stack (which was about 30,000), and even took a second to apologize to the table for taking so much time. It was a polarizing bet (close to half of Sal's stack), and after all of the thought, Pipitone decided to push all-in. Marvin quickly made the call, and after a blank on the river, he would win the pot with K♠ K♣ against Sal's A♦ 9♠. Siegel now leads the way, with players about to head on their first (15) minute break of the day:
Marvin Siegel - 110,000
Gregory Whiting - 85,000
Dan Pettit - 69,000
Sardor Gaziev - 67,000
Haiku - 65,000
Ken Silberstein - 50,000
David Kim - 40,000
Joseph Galazzo - 24,000
