Spitzberg Sitting Pretty
Paul Spitzberg (Tenafly, NJ) rode his big stack to a $3,000 bonus as the end of Day 1A chip leader. The Borgata regular finished with 942k and was well ahead of second place which came down to a verifying count between two players.
Dan Corbett (Liverpool, NY) edged Jason Andrews (Pittsburgh, PA) by 2,500 to win the $2,000 bonus as runner-up; Corbett bagged 604k to Andrews 601,500.
Another big stack in the mix was Jai Liu (Brooklyn, NY) who finished with 550k. Liu won the 2012 Borgata Spring Poker Open where he earned $312,000.
Spitzberg is no Borgata stranger as he has a Borgata win on his resume from the 2012 August Deep Stack Double Play for $40,000. He began a steady climb the last six levels of the night and won a 750k pot with pocket 7s against a pair and an open ended straight draw.
~165 players remain of the 1,520 Day 1A entries. The average stack is 184k (31 BB) as players return noon Thursday for Day 2 for completion of Level 18 (3k/6k/500 ante).
Wednesday is another round of madness as Day 1B will bring a much larger field than Day 1A.
Dan the Man, Second in Chips
