Teresa Ramsey

The fourth break ended with 68 players still trying to make their way to Day 2. Only 33 will book a seat so they have a lot of work to do to get there.

At the previous breaks, we could find similar big stacks throughout the tables, but this time, there was one. Teresa Ramsey went on a heater while the other stacks were leveling out. Our $700 Deep Stack Challenge fourth-place finisher has a huge stack worth 545,000 and is way ahead of the other 67 players.

We will post the full Day 2 chip count list, seating assignment, and payout information as soon as it is available after bagging. See you tomorrow!
