Daniel Shearer squeezed to 20,000 preflop and Kashima called all-in for that amount to find himself in a favourable spot with A♥J♦. Shearer only had the K♥7♣ but got there on the K♦10♣9♦4♣6♣ runout to bring the field of hopefuls down by one contender.
An unofficial 114 entries have been recorded for Day 1c but that figure remains to be verified, while the seventh table just broke to balance the field early into level ten.
Level: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
Shortly after losing a lot of his previously large stack, b-boy bet the J♦7♦2♠K♠ turn for 4,500 and then called all-in when zakiooo pushed. Another short stack was already awaiting his fate, too.
Short stack: A♠8♠ 
b-boy: K♥Q♦
zakiooo: A♦A♥
The aces held against both opponents thanks to the 9♣ on the river.
With 60,000 in the middle to the J♠10♥7♥6♦ turn, b-boy check-called a bet of 15,000 by Kageyama and then did so again for 15,000 on the 7♠ river. Kageyama tabled his J♣J♥ for jacks full of sevens to claim a hefty pot.
Shortly after, Fukasawa defended his big blind off a short stack versus Kageyama and then got the last 7,500 in after the Q♦7♥5♦ flop, Kageyama instantly called.
Fukasawa: 9♠5♣
Kageyama: 6♦3♦
The 9♣ turn gave Fukasawa two pair but the 8♠ river improved Kageyama to the straight.
The restart after the break has been rather slow and very few notable hands took place thus far, all executed in speedy fashion by the excellent dealers. b-boy took on Furukawa who didn't bluff bet the K♦7♣6♦5♠10♠ river and instead showed down the Q♦8♦ for a missed flush draw. His table neighbour had that beat to claim the pot with the 9♥9♣ in a duel between two healthy stack holders.
Level: 9
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
Eight levels have been completed so far and the field has increased to 114 total entries, of which some 56 players still have chips at their disposal heading into the second ten-minute level of the day. The late registration is open for another 30-minute level and all those bowing out thereafter can enter Day 1c as of 4 p.m. local time.
yokkoo raised to 2,800 which kai05170107 in the small blind called. The big blind then jammed for 23,200 and the initial raiser went all-in over the top. kai05170107 asked for an exact count before he opted to fold when it was deemed to be for 104,400 total.
Big Blind: 7♦7♠
yokkoo: 8♠8♣
The board ran out Q♦Q♠6♠9♣2♣ and the superior pocket pair earned the knockout.
A short stack tripled up for very few chips with 6♣5♦ as they hit trips on the 5♥5♣4♣K♣3♥ runout. The larger side pot went to jerOOvv who sent another shorter stack to the rail when his J♠J♣ on the button held against the small blind's A♥9♦ for an additional 6,300.
