Steve O'Dwyer has become the 377th entry for Day 1c and not long ago prior to the break, Tony Hachem also sat down. Hachem first lost a pot with flush versus full house but then scored a double against big stack Takahiro Nakai. Hachem's aces held against nines and he has since remained on an above-average stack.
