Mario Fata raised with the K♠Q♥ and Keegan Naidoo called on the button with Q♦8♦, Kumi Pather defended the big blind with 8♥6♥. The J♥7♥2♥ flop saw Pather lead small for 12,000 and Fata raised to 28,000 for Naidoo to fold.
The 9♠ turn saw Pather check and both players checked to the 8♣ on the river. Pather now bet 35,000 and Fata used one time bank while contemplating a move, then opted to fold and knocked the carpet.
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.
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.
Level: 13
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
In the last hand before the break, Darren Kramer got his stack of 77,000 in with the 10♣10♥ against the 8♣8♠ of Edgar Antezana.
One eight had folded, but the case eight came on the Q♦8♥6♠J♣7♥ board to knock out Kramer. He has a shorter stack from Day 1b already and might still fire into Day 1d to try and run up a stack.
Level 12 comes to an end with around 30 players remaining and the end of the day is already near as only 22 contenders will go through. But first, it's time for a 15-minute break.
Djordje Stojic pushed all-in for 25,000 in the cutoff and Bruno de Carvalho called on the button. Rudolf Fourie then jammed from the big blind and de Carvalho asked for a count, then folded when it was deemed to be for 123,000.
Djordje Stojic: A♣J♣
Rudolf Fourie: 10♣10♥
De Carvalho exposed his folded 7♣7♠ and Fourie instantly said "you are a champion".
The pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the Q♥9♦3♠9♠9♣ board and Stojic departed. Marina Vechirskaya followed suit as she fell to Sheldon Grove, having previously lost a lot of her chips to a set of nines by Ronit Chamani.
SM made it 8,000 to go with the A♣Q♣ and Adam Gamsy called from the small blind with 9♦8♣, Nic Ioannoy came along with the 5♦3♦.
The 9♣9♥3♣ flop saw Gamsy check-raise from 8,000 to 17,000 and SM three-bet to 45,000 for Gamsy to call with his trips. Gamsy led the J♦ turn for 30,000 to get called by SM and then bet the Q♠ on the river for another 40,000. SM raised it up to 125,000 and that put Gamsy into the tank, though, he made the call with trips to win a massive pot.
Marina Vechirskaya limp-called the all-in of table short stack Devid Berlin and had a flip with 8♣7♦ versus 4♣4♠.
The board ran out K♠J♠J♣K♦8♦ and Berlin grabbed his phone to snap a picture of the outcome, ready to leave. Only then the other players at the table pointed out the chop as the eight didn't play.
Vechirskaya has seen a rough fall from grace on the leaderboard while Ronit Chamani has taken over the lead.
