Jamie Gold is still in the Day 1c field, but his stack has taken a bit of a hit.
Gold opened for 10,000 from early position and the player to his direct right called. The flop came 
, and Gold checked. His opponent put a 100,000 chip in the pot, though it's unclear what the actual declared bet amount was.
Gold thought for a minute, gave his opponent the lookover and folded, taking his stack down to 81,000.
The once raucous Pavillion Green #248 table has started to mellow out a bit after the dinner break. "We went from the craziest table to the quietest. Everybody eats and gets tired," Gold said.
