Big Stacks Begin to Emerge
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
As we are halfway through play in this flight, we are starting to look for some of the bigger stacks. At the moment, two players have separated themselves from the pack: Abdulla Yousif, who's holding 70,000, and Spencer Uniss, who has him beat with 75,000.
Uniss is very familiar with Black Hawk. He has just one cash to his name online, but it was a big one, as he took down the Heartland Poker Tour Main event in 2011 when it was at the Golden Gates casino, earning $221,594 for his efforts. Will Uniss be able to make it two final tables in Black Hawk?

Easley Can't Survive the Night
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
Seneca Easley knows what it's like to have Circuit Main Event gold. Easley won the 2011 Harrah's Rincon Main Event for $70,384, and while he was looking to do that again here, he will have to wait another day. He was eliminated a short time ago, but this was just Easley's first bullet, meaning he'll have one more shot if he elects to take that chance.

Fielder Loses Roller Coaster Hand
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
We didn't catch the preflop action, but we know that Jeff Fielder held 
against a short stack's 
. Fielder stayed behind on a 
flop, but he shot into the lead when the 
hit the turn. His opponent's head immediately sunk into his arms, and he didn't catch the river as it was being dealt, the 
. This gave him the better full house, and Fielder shipped the chips over to his opponent.
After losing that one, Fielder is now down to 25,000.

Bad Flop Ends Tryba's Day
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
Action started with an early position limp, and Chris Tryba moved all in for his last 6,800. It got back around to the original limper, and after about 20 seconds of thought, he made the call.
Tryba: 
Opponent: 
Tryba was in dire straits and in desperate need of help, but he got the exact opposite of that on the flop. Is 
bad enough for Tryba? After his opponent flopped a boat, Tryba could only hope to chop the hand if the case ace came. It wouldn't happen though, as the board completed 
and 
.
Tryba already busted in Day 1a, so we will not be seeing him tomorrow in Day 1c.

Dandrea Climbing Up The Ranks
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
Raymond Dandrea busted about halfway through Day 1a, but so far, 1b has treated him very well. Despite drawing a very tough starting table, Dandrea was able to make it out of the table break as one of the positive stacks. From there, his stack has gone nowhere but up, and he is now one of our chip leaders of the flight with 73,000.

Riess Rakes In A Monster
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
"You missed a big one!" These were the words of Ryan Riess as he walked over to us while we were typing another hand. However, he gave us a brief breakdown of what happened.
According to him, action started with an early position raise, and a call from the nine seat. Jeff Fielder put in a three bet squeeze, and Riess flat called with 
. The original raiser folded, before the nine seat shoved all in for his last 20,000 with 
. Fielder folded, Riess made the call, and his aces held.
After taking that pot, Riess is one of our chip leaders, sitting with 68,000.
