Total Day 1A Entries: 122

Matt Glantz (Lafayette Hill, PA)

Matt Glantz (Lafayette Hill, PA) started the afternoon playing a little cash game, but he took his seat in this Day 1A field about (30) minutes ago.  It didn't take long for Matt to get involved in the action, as he three-bet an UTG open of 1,200 to 3,000.  Marvin Siegel was next to act, and he'd four-bet to 8,500.  The original raiser folded, and Glantz made the call, as the two would go to the flop.

The dealer fanned out 2♠ 4♠ 5♣, with Glantz checking and Marvin shoving all-in (having Glantz's 50,000 remaining stack well covered).  Matt made the call and the cards were tabled:

Glantz: 2♣ 4♣
Marvin: A♣ K♠

Turn: 9♦
River: 10♦

Glantz's hand would flop two pair, with Marvin looking for a gut-shot after the turn to steal the hand away.  Matt's bottom two pair held, and he'd chip up to 135,000.  Mr. Day 1 would drop to 150,000 after the hand, but got all of the lost chips back the next hand, when he played the 2♥ 4♥ and rivered the wheel!!!
