Big Stax 500 (Day 2): 17th Place - Siegel ($2,920)

Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 16

Eric Siegel (Melville, NY)
17th Place - $2,920

Siegel was all-in only minutes after doubling up Schoultz, and he would be behind once again.  This time he had a little better of a sweat as his AJ < AK of John Dascoli, missing both flopped flush and broadway draws.

Siegel is just under $500,000 lifetime earnings with that cash, and just falls short of matching his best ever Big Stax finish (finished 16th place Big Stax III Series $1,000 Event).
