Upon completion of level 12, the field on Day 1c is down to the last 21 players and they have been sent on their last 10-minute break of the night. Only 15 of them are set to advance or until the end of level 15, whichever of the two scenarios comes first.
Over on the live stream table, Danny Dayani was at risk with A♣J♠ against the A♠10♠ of Anand Kumar. The J♣6♣3♣6♥7♣ board sealed the double for Dayani, who swapped places with Kumar on the leaderboard.

On the river of a A♦10♠3♦4♥J♣ board, Max Deveson bet 4,000 in the big blind. Ronit Chamani just called in an early position and Jarred Solomon then raised to 48,000. Deveson folded and Chamani used one time bank before she said "I should probably raise but I only call".
Solomon tabled the K♠Q♠ for broadway and Chamani mucked her J♠J♦ for a rivered set of jacks.

Gregory Maistry and Tim Akinnusi were eliminated on the live stream table while Jean Oakes ran out of chips on the outer tables, boosting Stephen Courtney as a result.
Rajeev Poonhath was on the verge of elimination when he got it in on a J♥J♣7♥ from the small blind with the J♦5♦. Nic Ioannoy had him dominated with the A♦J♠ but they chopped on the 8♦ turn and 8♥ river.

Tim Akinussi had previously scored a double via flip with A♠K♠ versus J♣J♦ and then jammed a 8♠7♥6♥ flop for 38,000 in the cutoff with the A♦8♥. Jonathan Kalil on the button called with the A♣9♠ for the open-ender and missed the J♦ turn before improving on the 9♣ river.

Giovanni Gaggia had been on a roller coaster ride throughout the entire day and the entire tournament room would know about it based on his table speeches all day long. Ultimately, he met a silent assassin right next to him in Nic Ioannoy and jammed at the wrong time on a 10♥9♣6♦ flop for around 95,000.
Giovanni Gaggia: K♦10♣ 
Nic Ioannoy: 8♦7♥
The K♥ turn gave Gaggia some outs but the 4♠ river ended his run.

Three players have their stacks in the middle and Rajeev Poonhath is the shortest among them for the last 30,000, followed by Tony Van Eeden in the next seat. Giovanni Gaggia looked both up for the following showdown.
Rajeev Poonhath: Q♣J♣
Tony Van Eeden: A♣J♦
Giovanni Gaggia: A♦K♥
"The ace is dead, " Poonhath said and another player remarked "the jack also".
Nothing changed on the 8♥5♥5♣ flop but Poonhath picked up a flush draw with the 2♣ turn. "One more!" he demanded and the K♣ river saw his wish granted. Poonhath tripled while Van Eeden was eliminated in the small side pot.
"Tony, don't forget your time banks," Giovanni Zanette joked to Van Eeden, who had apparently never used any time banks in sixteen years. On his previous table, Van Eeden timed out without knowing to lose all of his time banks and then asked the floor to receive more.

Nic Ioannoy check-called a bet of 15,000 by Tony Van Eeden on the K♣9♣4♦Q♠ turn and the K♠ on the river was checked. Van Eeden tabled the 6♠6♣ but Ioannoy had him beat with Q♦2♥ for superior two pair out of the big blind.
