The clocks have been adjusted to reflect only 29 players remaining for the third of four flights and that means we are only seven eliminations away from wrapping up this flight. There are also a couple of short stacks still in the mix and that might bring Day 1c to the closing stages in the near future.
Muzamil Gothey raised to 11,000 and Ronit Chamani called in the hijack. On the button, Devid Berlin moved all-in for 33,000 and Sheldon Grove called in the small blind. Gothey then pushed all-in for 212,000 total and Chamani folded.
"I gonna fold this," Grove said and exposed the 7♦7♥ while Chamani said she let go of K♣Q♣.
Devid Berlin: A♦Q♦ 
Muzamil Gothey: Q♥Q♠
"I probably gonna win this," Chamani said and Grove replied "let's hope no seven comes".
The J♠7♣6♦6♥8♦ board did bring the seven and Grove groaned, Berlin busted.
"This is the most unlucky place for me, now I have to go to the turbo heat," the Lithuanian sighed.

Tim Akinnusi limped in from under the gun with the K♠10♣ and it folded to Mario Fata in the big blind, who checked the 7♦2♠ to the K♣7♠2♦ flop. Fata check-raised from 4,000 to 16,000 and Akinnusi called.
Fata then bet the J♦ turn for 30,000 to see Akinnusi call with his top pair. The 4♠ river brought the shove by Fata and Akinnusi had 74,000 behind. He played with the time bank chips for a couple of seconds and then called it off to get shown the two pair with seven-deuce.

Jaco Mouton opted to open shove for 100,000 and SM called from the button, the blinds went out of the way.
Jaco Mouton: 10♣10♦
SM: J♣J♠
"That's the best hand I had for ninety nine days," Mouton exclaimed when he was behind in the showdown.
The K♣Q♥8♠2♣K♠ board brought no help to Mouton and he busted. Their table broke shortly after, as another player bowed out from the live stream table.

With one street of action prior, Nic Ioannoy checked the J♦9♠3♥8♦ turn on which he opted to check. Sheldon Grove bet 30,000 and Ioannoy got curious but also suspicious at the same time.
"You really want me to call, eh?" Ioannoy asked ... then opted to fold. Grove proudly exclaimed he was miles ahead and showed the 8♠8♣ for a turned set.
Hadar Goren chopped the next hand when he was all-in very short before he was then eliminated by Ioannoy to bring the field down to the last 25 contenders.
