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.

Fortunate Triple Up for Alexandrou

Christian Zetzsche

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

Alexi Alexandrou was all-in for 41,500 with the A♥6♣ and so was Bradley Moore for more with the A♣J♣. Menesh Keshav had both comfortably covered and revealed the A♠J♠ with all chips going in preflop.

The 9♥8♠7♦5♠J♦ board gave Alexandrou a nine-high straight and he tripled up.

Christian Zetzsche

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

On a flop of K♣9♦3♣, Lagen Zackey four-bet jammed for around 80,000 and he was looked up by Merwan Corront to set up the following all-in showdown.

Lagen Zackey: J♦10♣ All in
Merwan Corront: K♦Q♦

The 7♠ turn changed nothing but the 8♦ river gave Zackey a straight for the double.

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Dayani	310,000 95,000	95,000
Ronit Chamani	Busted

Aspeling Doubles Through Adam

Christian Zetzsche

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

Rayhaan Adam had raised to 12,500 in the big blind and then faced the shove by Elmien Aspeling in the hijack for 68,500. The big stack asked for an exact count and visibly mulled over the possible hand combinations before settling on a call.

Elmien Aspeling: K♣J♣ All in
Rayhaan Adam: A♠6♠

Adam was ahead preflop and on the 9♦3♠2♥ flop but the J♠ turn gave Aspeling the lead. An ace or spade was required for Adam to deal the final blow but the 2♦ river ensured Aspeling's double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rayhaan Adam	260,000 -120,000	-120,000
Elmien Aspeling	145,000

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Dayani	215,000 -25,000	-25,000
Costa Sissou	75,000 75,000	75,000

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.

Koutsikaris Leaves Sinnema Even Shorter

Christian Zetzsche

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

There were 11,000 out in front of Costa Koutsikaris and Mickael Sinnema then didn't verbally declare his intentions while partly moving his short stack and exposing his A♦K♠ already. The floor was called and it was ruled that Sinnema called the raise and had to continue the hand with his cards face-up.

On the Q♣6♦4♣ flop, Sinnema then checked and Koutsikaris bet 25,000.

"I guess I fold ..." Sinnema sighed and did so to be left even shorter.

"I promise you I would have called the all-in," Koutsikaris responded.
