With 234 entrants so far in today's Day 1c flight, the overall field has crested the 500 player plateau, with two more levels and the dinner break remaining for players to rebuy and enter today's final flight.
The big blind jammed for his last 8,400 into a pot of 7,500 on a 
board, and Daniel Sepiol went into the tank from under the gun.
After a minute, he made the call, and the big blind stood up, turning his 
up on the felt. Sepiol turned over 
for just ace-high, and the big blind was eliminated.
"Look at you, Mister Hero!" a player at the table told Sepiol.
