Big Stax 300 (Day 1A): They Call Him "Mr. Day 1"

Level 1 (Blinds 50/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: TBD

Marvin Siegel ("Mr. Day 1")

As Marvin Siegel (Monroe Township, NJ) approached his table, the dealer that was in the box saw him walking over and said, "Hey, it's Mr. Day 1."  Marvin could only smile and shrug his shoulders in reaction to the comment, knowing that his history in these Big Stax events does have that track record.  Siegel's deepest run in a "main" trophy event came in the Big Stax II 300 event, where he finished in 28th for $1,534.  Marvin does has a first and two second place finishes in side events (totaling over $70,000), so it's just the "Big Stax" hump that he needs to get over.

Siegel is living up to his name already, having just eliminated an   opponent to chip up to 60,000, already doubling the starting stack in the first level.
