Day 1c Concludes With Two Quick Eliminations

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tony van Eeden ran with pocket tens into the pocket kings of Menesh Keshav and that brought the field down to the last 25 hopefuls. One more elimination was required to end Day 1c and it would follow moments later on the other outer table.

Kinesh Pather raised to 12,000 and Sugen Singh in the small blind three-bet to 38,000. Lagen Zackey then four-bet jammed for the last 99,000 in the big blind and Pather asked for a count. He then folded while Singh reluctantly called.

Lagen Zackey: A♣K♠
Sugen Singh: A♥Q♠

The dominated ace paired up on the Q♣J♠7♦ flop, then stayed ahead on the 4♥ turn and 9♣ river to eliminate Zackey one spot away from making Day 2.

Down to the Last Three Tables

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The previously large stack of Rayhaan Adam melted on the live stream table whereas Stephen Courtney leaped to nearly half a million in chips.

On the outer tables, Leon G and Amstel were eliminated and that reduced the field to the last 26 contenders.

It was almost 25 as Djordje Stojic got it in dominated with K♥10♥ versus A♠J♣ but scored a lucky punch on the Q♦8♥3♣6♠10♠ runout.

Elizabeth Eliminated but Will Return for Day 2

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Shannon Elizabeth had defended her big blind off a short stack and flopped second pair on 10♥7♥4♣ with the Q♣7♦. However, the K♥Q♥ of Mathew OrdHume got there when the board completed with the 4♠ turn and 8♥ river to end her run.

She can still enter Day 1d but also has chips from Day 1a at her disposal. The attempt to run up a bigger stack was however not successful.

Corront Eliminated by Stegers

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cards of Merwan Corront were already dragged into the muck and the Frenchman left the table after his remaining short stack was sent over to Joseph Stegers.

On a board of 7♣5♠4♦4♥A♣, the A♥Q♥ of Stegers were good enough to score the knockout.

Zackey Eliminated by Pater

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Warren Zackey got a short stack in preflop for what appeared to be around 50,000 and he was looked up by Kinesh Pater from two seats over.

Warren Zackey: 8♣5♣ All in
Kinesh Pater: A♠K♣

The A♣A♦K♦ flop left Zackey drawing dead to make the 8♥ turn and 6♦ river a formality.

Matthews Busts in a "Wild Hand"

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Stephen Courtney raised to 6,000 from an early position and was called by Brandon Matthews on the button as well as Teren Ramnundlall in the big blind. The flop brought J♠8♠6♠ and Ramnundlall bet 12,000 first to act. Courtney raised to 25,000 only for Matthews to then jam for 78,000.

Ramnundlall folded and Courtney used three time bank extensions before he made the call.

Brandon Matthews: A♥K♠ All in
Stephen Courtney: 10♣10♥

Matthews was behind but had all spades as well as aces and kings at his disposal. The 5♦ turn and Q♦ river were blanks, as Courtney jumped out of his chair in relief with a "thank you, thank you".

Ahmed Karrim then confirmed all the details and added "you missed a wild hand".

The Action Stays Fast-Paced

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Only 38 players currently remain and the next table will break when two further players run out of chips. Among the last two casualties were Mickael Sinnema and Ronit Chamani, who can still jump into the turbo heat 1d.

Chamani mentioned that she flopped broadway with AxK♦ on a Q♠J♦10♦ flop and Danny Dayani moved all-in with queen-ten to hit a full house.

The goal for Day 1c is reaching the top 24 finishers or until the end of level 15, whichever of the two comes first.

Danny Dayani	310,000 95,000	95,000

Shadiack Among the Next to Fall

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Paul Shadiack was all-in with a short stack out of the small blind and earned three callers. Costa Sissou jammed the A♣K♣8♠ flop to isolate.

Paul Shadiack: 7♦5♦ All in
Costa Sissou: A♥10♥

Shadiack needed running cards and found some hope with the 5♣ turn, but it was followed by the blank J♠ river.

Danny Dayani	215,000 -25,000	-25,000

Cornelli Falls to SM

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the J♠9♦6♣10♦ turn, SM fired a bet of 30,000 out of the blinds and Fabio Cornelli moved all-in to get snap-called.

"You have it, eh?" Cornelli asked and was shown the 10♣10♥ by SM. The set of tens had one hundred percent already, as Cornelli's A♣J♥ had zero outs anymore as the blank 4♥ river ended his run.

Karrim Joins the Chip Leaders

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

After their table broke, Ahmed Karrim and Elai Mazor moved their big stacks over to table six and joined the likes of SM and Brandon Matthews to put well more than one million chips on the table.

Karrim got to work right away and tangled with Matthews in a three-bet pot. On the J♦4♦3♦8♠ turn, Matthews checked in the big blind and called a bet worth 55,000 by Karrim. Matthews checked and sigh-called another 38,000 on the A♠ river. Karrim showed the 4♣3♣ for two pairs and Matthews mucked the K♦K♥.

Karrim then opened to 5,500 and Matthews as well as SM called in the blinds. On a 10♥6♥5♣ flop, the blinds check-called Karrim's 8,500 but check-folded the J♦ turn when Karrim fired a second barrel for 31,000.

In the meanwhile, Jon Per Persent was eliminated by Danny Dayani as the field was cut down further.
