John Eames and EPT/WPT Champion Jake Cody were sweating their friend Ashley Mason as he pushed all-in preflop for around 3,000 getting a caller.
Mason flipped 
racing another player's 
. The flop came down 
and Eames immediately stated, "Not even a sweat card."
Of course this tempted fate enough to put a 
on the turn leaving Mason drawing dead on the 
river.
With the hijack raising to 900 and the small blind making the call, the wonderfully named Asa Blue Pentecost moved all in from the big blind for 4,200. Both players made disciplined folds, the hijack claiming 
and the small blind revealing 
. Much to their collective relieve, Pentecost showed

Huck Seed's table broke during dinner, and his new after-dinner table has not been kind to him in the early going.
When we walked up to the table, a shorter-stacked opponent was all in with 
, and Huck had 
opened up in front of his own spot. We'd assume the money went in on the 
flop, but we can't say for sure. In any event, the on the turn added another two outs for Seed to tally the knockout, but the 
on the river was in his opponent's neighborhood. Unable to get over the hump, Seed has given a double up to his new table mate, sliding his own stack all the way down to just 1,700.
Five minutes in and Tom Dwan must have ordered two desserts during dinner as he's yet to return. Dwan is located (or, should be) on the sole table remaining outside the Shadow Room and has 16,250 in chips.
Level: 7
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
Would you believe that play has resumed? Well, you should, because it has. We promise.
A quick head count tells us that 54 players have survived to this stage of Day 1b, one player less than yesterday. We'll play three more levels to match the Day 1a schedule before calling it a night.
Poker players, as you know are hungry beasts, that's why we're now on a 90 minute dinner break.
After a player opened from under the gun to 800, Andrew Lichtenberger reraised to 2,300 from the small blind. His opponent called and the two saw the flop come down 
. Lichtenberger checked and his opponent checked behind.
The landed on the turn and Lichtenberger fired 2,250. His opponent folded and Lichtenberger scooped the pot. He's been doing well to add to his stack lately and moved to 11,000 in chips.
There was about 6,000 in the pot when we walked up to a 
board on fourth street. Scott Fischman checked, and Ralph Perry slid out a bet of 2,500. Without much delay, Fischman check-raised all in for around 6,000 total. Perry sighed heavily and leaned back in his chair, only 2,900 chips left in his stack. When you're beat, you're bet, though, and Perry cut his losses and mucked his hand.
Fischman flashed him to settle his curiosity and stacked up about 14,500 chips.
Scott Fischman checked a flop of 
across to Dominik Nitsche who fired out a bet of 1,650. Fischman replied with a check-raise to 4,000 and Nitsche quickly moved all-in.
"Really?" said Fischman.
"Yes, really." Nitsche quickly replied.
Fischman did a quick recheck of his cards before he folded leaving himself 11,000. Nitsche has 22,000.
