The flop read 2♦5♣2♣ with three players in a hand. The first player to act bet 5,000, big stack Nicholas Sims called. Jeffrey Weinberg came over the top and jammed all in for about 55,000. The first player folded and Sims called.
Jeffrey Weinberg: Ax2x
Nicholas Sims: 4♠3♠
Weinberg was ahead and would need to fade the straight. He did far more than fade as the turn came the 2♥ to sew it up for him right there with quad fours to make the river meaningless and give him an important double while Sims was left to rue what could have been a huge stack in his clutches.

Donell Richards, who had been as low as three big blinds not that long ago was all in and at risk preflop as he looked to continue some upward momentum.
Donell Richards: K♠Q♠
Covering opponent: A♦10♦
Help came for Richards in the form of a king on the flop as it came K♦9♥3♣. The turn gave his opponent a diamond draw with the 6♦ but the river was a blank 7♠ to secure a double up for Richards.

David Charlemagne was spotted as a big stack in Day 1b as he was on the river with an opponent and bet 10,000 on a board of 6♥Q♦3♥10♣4♣.
His opponent folded her hand after a few moments and Charlemagne added even more chips to his stack which is likely the largest of Day 1b thus far.
