Tournament officials announced that play on Day 1c will continue until there are 157 players remaining out of 1,044 total entries.
The tournament clock currently shows 340 still in the field.
With around 40,000 in the pot on a flop of 9♠5♦3♦, Stefan Lehner bet 17,000 from the button and Sercan Yasav called in early position.
The turn came the J♥ and Lehner bet another 32,500. Yasav then moved all in for around 70,000 and Lehner quickly called with K♥K♠.
Yasav turned over A♦J♦ for a pair and nut flush draw but missed the 4♠ river as he was sent to the rail.
At the same time at an adjacent table, Ramon Kropmanns and Harout Ghazarian were tangling in a massive pot that saw 65,000 already in the middle on a board of K♥K♣Q♣2♠.
Ghazarian bet 19,000 from under the gun and Kropmanns called in middle position. The river came the 3♣ and Kropmanns called for his last 55,000.
Ghazarian was forced to show just 4♥4♦, while Kropmanns had 10♣8♣ for a rivered flush to double up and leave Ghazarian with crumbs.
In middle position, Pascal Dabrion limped, then folded, after Ahmed Abdellatif three-bet to 6,000 from the cutoff and Ignas Jasinevicius four-bet to 12,000 on the button.
Abdellatif called the four-bet, and took the lead on the flop 7♠2♣7♥, betting 13,000. Next to him, Jasinevicius raised all in for 36,000. Abdellatif asked for the count, and folded.

Christian Rudolph was out of position against fellow middle position opponent Mehmet Dalkilic on a flop of 4♦A♥Q♠.
Rudolph checked on the flop and called a bet of 8,500 from Dalkilic. Rudolph checked again on the 2♦ turn and Dalkilic checked back.
Both players checked again on the 6♠ river and Rudolph tabled K♣Q♥ to win the pot with a pair of queens.
Sergiu Covrig was all in for 24,500 and called by Niko Koop as action went on Yan Mitrofanov. "Make it a double KO," Covrig told him, but Mitrofanov decided to fold.
Sergiu Covrig: A♣4♣
Niko Koop: 7♠7♦
"This is the ultimate battle. Whiskey versus cappuccino. I think cappuccino will win," Covrig said heading to the board, which came 8♠5♥J♠K♣Q♦. Koop's sevens stayed in the lead and Covrig checked that Koop had him covered before heading for the exit.
Charbel Salloum had moved all in for 16,500 from the button and Rafael Navas called under the gun. Kurt Radinger also called in early position.
Navas and Radinger both checked the 4♥6♥2♦ flop before Radinger bet 6,000 on the 4♦ turn. Navas called to the 6♦ river.
Radinger then bet another 12,000 and Navas got out of the way this time. Salloum opened up 8♣8♠, but Radinger had 10♦9♦ for the rivered flush to send Salloum to the rail, muttering to himself as he went.
Under the gun, Peter Tordai raised to 3,500, then in the hijack, Nejat Erman three-bet to 11,000.
Tordai called and saw the flop fall 8♠J♠4♣. Erman bet 12,000 and Tordai check-raised all in. Erman made the call, putting himself at risk for 33,000 chips.
Nejat Erman: A♦J♥
Peter Tordai: 10♦10♥
Erman had top pair and secured a double up after the turn 3♦ and the river 6♥.
Ren Lin registered for Day 1c on dinner break but lasted less than one level after running into Marat Shafigullin.
Lin raised to 3,000 in the hijack before Shafigullin three-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff. "No Gamble, No Future," Lin said as he put his last 30,000 in the pot. Shafigullin snap-called.
Ren Lin: 9♠9♣
Marat Shafigullin: A♥A♠
"Goodbye," Lin said after seeing Shafigullin's aces. The Q♥K♠5♥6♥8♥ board didn't provide him with any help and Lin was sent to the rail.
"Ay, ay, ay, what a good hand," Lin said as he headed to the exit.
