On one of the last hands of play, Lou Barlow won a massive pot against RunGoodGear.com Team Pro Ryan Tepen when he got it all in with a set of fours against Tepen's open-ended straight flush draw on the turn. Barlow would fade Tepen's many outs to score a double up that would see him end the day with the Day 1b chip lead at 253,000. He was followed by Joel Nimmo who ended play with 238,500 in chips. Ryan Koontz rounded out the top three with a stack of 201,000.

We got to the table in time to witness Heather Alcorn making a bet of an unknown amount on the turn with the board reading and Amanda Baker making the call.
The river was the and Baker checked to Alcorn who moved all in for 45,500 total. This was enough to eliminate Baker as she had slightly less than 40,000 behind. Baker went deep into thought, looking over at Alcorn and studying her.
After a minute or two, Baker said "you look very uncomfortable" to Alcorn.
"Really?" was Alcorn's response.
"Yes," said Baker.
"How do I make myself look comfortable," said Alcorn with a slight laugh.
"I was totally folding before I looked at you," said Baker.
"Save it for another one," warned Alcorn.
Baker lifted her head forwards, looking at the board carefully. She gathered all of her chips and put them together into two stacks. Carefully she slid them forward.
Alcorn turned over for the nut flush and Baker sheepishly turned over for a pair of kings. "I knew I shouldn't have looked at you," Baker said, as she left the table.
