Tom Ackerman bet 3,000 from early position on a flop of 4♥2♦5♠ and the hijack raised to 12,000. Another opponent in the small blind called, while Ackerman instantly moved all in for 36,500.
The hijack quickly folded, while the player in the small blind tanked for a few minutes until also giving up his hand.
Toran Tate quickly reentered after busting earlier. "Let's go. I'm ready to do something crazy," he said.
Papa Karn raised to 1,500 in early position and Toran Tate called in the cutoff. Albert Kong then three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind, and Karn four-bet to 15,000. Tate moved all in for 23,000 and Kong got out of the way, while Karn called to put Tate at risk.
Toran Tate: 6♠6♣ 
Papa Karn: A♦A♣
Tate had run right into Karn's aces, and the J♣10♠4♦8♠2♦ board offered no help as Karn scored the knockout.
The field so far on Day 1c is already up to 178 entries, nearly equaling yesterday's total with more than four levels of late registration still remaining.

A player in the big blind bet 3,000 on a flop of 3♠9♦7♦ and Cory Plante called in the hijack.
The turn was the 4♥ and the big blind checked over to Plante, who bet 10,000. His opponent called and checked again on the 10♥ river, and Plante then bet 12,000.
The big blind tanked for a minute, but he eventually gave up his hand this time.
With around 20,000 in the pot on a flop of 7♠6♣8♣, a player in early position got in his last 20,500 and Brian Murfield put him at risk in the cutoff.
All-In Player: 9♣9♠
Brian Murfield: J♦J♠
Murfield was ahead with his jacks, while the at-risk player was looking to complete a straight draw. The 7♣ turn also gave him a flush draw, but Murfield improved to a full house on the 7♦ river to send his opponent to the rail.
A player in middle position raised to 1,200, Kyle Parrish three-bet to 3,800 in the small blind, and his opponent called.
Parrish continued for 2,500 on the Q♦2♣10♣ flop, and his opponent called. Parrish then bet 8,000 on the K♠ turn, and the middle-position player again called.
Both players checked down the 4♦ river, and Parrish showed A♣K♣ for a pair of kings. His opponent mucked A♥Q♣, and Parrish took the pot.
Heads-up on a flop of 7♦3♦8♥, James Hook bet 3,500 from the cutoff and an opponent called in the hijack.
Both players checked the K♥ turn. The hijack then led out for 4,400 on the 8♣ river, and Hook quickly called.
Hook turned over Q♣Q♥, and his opponent flashed just jack-high as he surrendered the pot.

Ante: 400
A player under the gun raised to 3,000 and received four callers, including Cory Plante in early position and David Short in middle position.
The flop came 4♦J♣7♣ and the under-the-gun player bet 6,000. Plante then moved all in for 35,000 and Short called. The table folded back around to the under-the-gun player, and he also called for 31,000.
Under-the-Gun: K♠K♣
Cory Plante: 6♦5♦
David Short: J♦10♠
The under-the-gun player was ahead with his kings, but the 8♠ on the turn gave Plante a straight and the lead. The river was the 7♠ and Plante scooped the pot, earning a double up off Short while sending the under-the-gun player to the rail.
