Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Below are some assorted chip counts. Shantanu Banerji suffered a big setback when trying to bluff table neighbor Victor Choupeaux. Both players confirmed what happened. Banerji raised to 4,000 and was called before the flop fell 
with two hearts. The continuation bet of 4,600 was called before Banerji then check-raised the 
turn from 8,600 to 20,000.
Choupeaux called and also called a bet worth 35,000 on the 
turn, Banerji mucked.

If there was any doubt about the chip leader, James Mitchell has just shattered that.
Word on the street is that Attila Farkas raised to 5,000 and Mitchell just called. A short stack shoved for 10,000 and Farkas reshoved for 170,000 with 
and ran right into the pocket aces of Mitchell.

“Good flop for my hand,” said Kasouf and checked. “Ace high no good,”
Benakis bet 6,500. “What do you want me to do?” Kassouf asked before calling.
The turn card was the

Alexandra O'Brien lost the vast majority of her stack after running into the famous speech play of William Kassouf on a board of 
holding . The action went on for all streets and Kassouf shoved the river, which O'Brien eventually called only to get shown 
for the nut flush by Kassouf.
That was in the second-last hand, and O'Brien lost her remaining 25,000 next to bust at the very end of Day 1c. Kassouf on the other hand bagged well above average and will be back tomorrow for Day 2.

All players have bagged up their chips and the tables are being prepared right away again, as the final turbo heat is scheduled to kick off in just about half an hour. The guarantee is already smashed, but it will be interesting to see who takes the second chance after busting their initial starting day.
Full chip counts and a recap of Day 1c will be available soon before the coverage continues for the re-entry flight.
