Ninety-Nine Left

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The players left in the tournament just dropped to a two-figure number. Only 99 players are left with chips and that means that they need forty more eliminations before they bag up.

Celina Lin

Team PokerStars was well represented on Day 1c. Despite their efforts, there is only one player still rocking the red spade on his shirt. Ramon Colillas is sitting with a pretty stack, but his colleagues weren't as fortunate.

Kalidou Sow, Maria Konnikova, and Celina Lin all got eliminated before the end of the day was reached.

Karmatckii Eliminates Weng

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arsenii Karmatckii was quite short, but Xiaokai Weng was even shorter. Both got their money in the middle and Weng had the better hand with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Karmatckii held {a-Spades}{5-Spades} and needed to come from behind.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Weng was still safe, but the turn was the {a-Hearts}. No jack on the {7-Clubs} river and Weng was eliminated in level 13 of the tournament.
