Day 1c Action
Day 1c attracted the biggest field yet with 282 entrants, nearly doubled the two previous flights combined.
An early highlight occurred when David Jolicoeur made quad aces and managed to get paid of when he moved in on the river, while, just one table over, Lisa Kaminski binked a straight flush against her unfortunate opponent's turned set.
Another notable hand took place late in the day when Bryan Brockmeier made a hero-fold with a set of fives on a board of

Some of the players who didn't make it to bagging time include Charles Wardlaw, Andrew Dykeman and Gil Levy.
