Well, it's been quite a day for Ramana Epparla. We hope he took his blood pressure meds this morning. After beginning the day with a 3:1 chip lead over second place, Epparla tumbled all the way down to just 19,000 during the last level. Things have turned around once again.

"Wow... 19 thousand chips," Kenny Nguyen said, shaking his head.
Epparla drags that big pot, doubling up in a large way; he's back in the chip lead with 1.523 million again. Scott's still in second place, but he's fallen back to about 1.15 million thanks that that untimely turn card.
