Marvin Siegel

Sitting UTG+1, Marvin Siegel raised the action to 7,000 pre-flop. The rest of the table folded around to the big blind, who made the call.

Flop: 10♣ 3♣ 2♠

Big Blind performed the first half of his check-raise, allowing Siegel to bet 9,000 before responding with a raise to 20,000. Siegel flat-called.

Turn: A♦

This time, Big Blind bet immediately, throwing out seven 5,000 chips. Siegel responded by putting 105,000 into the middle. Technically he wasn't all-in. He still had some non-gray chips in front of him, but both players flipped up their cards anyway when Big Blind announced a call.

Big Blind: Ax 2x (two pair)
Siegel: 10♦ 10♠ (Set of 10s)

River: 5♦

Siegel didn't quite eliminate his opponent, but he was seen leaving the table after the following hand, while Siegel chipped up to more than 250,000.
