The player in the UTG position put out a raise to 4,900. Action folded around to the blinds and saw both the small blind and Goldsmith in the big blind position make the call.
Flop:
After a check from the small blind, Goldsmith pushed forward a bet of 9,500. The original raiser wished to reinforce the he originally opened with a strong hand and pushed forward 28,000. The small blind tossed his cards to the muck and Goldsmith announced he was all in. The original raiser looked surprised and asked for a count. Finally, he made the call and cards were on their backs.
UTG/Original Raiser: 
Goldsmith: 
The original raiser looked to be in shock as the 
came on the turn and the 
came on the river. The original raiser made some comment that appeared to be sarcastic in nature about the strength of AJ but Goldsmith didn't respond while he stacked up his newly found chips.

Play in Day 1b will pause with 10 minutes remaining on the clock. The tournament manager will then have a random player draw a card to signify the number of hands to play before bagging. The options will be 3, 4, or 5 final hands. We will find out shortly how many hands remain and who will come out as the chip leader in Day 1b.
The clock has been paused with 10 minutes remaining and players have been told they have just 5 hands left to play. Once those 5 hands are completed, players will choose to bag up and go home or fire again in Day 1c in a last effort for a larger chip stack.
Day 1b has closed and 48 players are moving on to Day 2 tomorrow at 12pm. Stay tuned for final chip counts and Day 1c coverage. PokerNews will get the Day 1b chip counts posted before taking an hour break and returning to continue Day 1c reporting.
