William Siegel Takes the Lead on Day 1b of Deepstack Kick-Off
Day 1b of Event #1: $600 Deepstack Kick-Off at the Borgata Winter Poker Open accumulated a total of 558 entries and when the last chance saloon had closed for business it was William Siegel leading the final 91. The $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool has now attracted 963 entries in the first two starting flights and is sure to blow past the set guarantee with three remaining flights yet to come at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in the first event of the series.
