There were five players still in on the turn, with 
on show. It checked to the player on the button, who made it 2,500 and a player in early position flatted before Silviu Iordache moved all in for 8,000. Only the player in early position called and the two turned over their cards.
Silviu Iordache: 
Opponent: 
It was top set vs a flush and Iordache was looking to dodge a pair on the board to scoop the pot. The 
river was a brick and the pot brings his short-stack up, although still shy of the 30,000 chips he started with.

Day 1c is proving to be popular with players and the number of entries has already exceeded those who registered for Day 1a. Another 21 players needed in order to make this the largest flight of the tournament so far. Given that late registration is open for another five hours, it is looking more than likely that will happen
Kanan Farzaliyev opened the action in middle position and called Razan Grozav's 1,600 three-bet from the cutoff. No one else wanted to play so they went heads up to the flop.
It came and Farzaliyev checked to Grozav who continued for 1,500. Back on Farzaliyev and he raised to 5,500 and Grozav responded by re-raising all in. It was a snap call from Farzaliev and when the cards were turned over, it was clear why.
Kanan Farzaliyev: 
Razvan Grozav: 
It was set vs over pair and with no king on the turn or river, Farzaliyev eliminated Grozav.

There was a large pile of chips in the middle and two players facing a 
board. The two players still in were Pongsapak Himathongkom who checked to Celso Padilha who moved all in for around 20,000.
Himathongkom thought for about ten seconds before calling and turned over and Padilha showed 
for the attempted bluff. It flips the beginning of Day 1b on it's head, where Padilha was the player to double up in the first few hands of the day.
