The penultimate starting flight with a buy-in of US$750 no longer accepts any new entries as the late registration is officially closed with level ten underway. An unofficial 210 entries were purchased with around 112 players remaining. However, that is yet to be officially confirmed by the organizers.
Yinan Zhou was unable to hold onto his stack and was at risk with the A♠3♠ in the cutoff against Jieming Xiu, who revealed the K♥K♠ in the hijack.
The Q♦4♣3♣J♣8♠ board delivered only one trey and that wasn't enough. With Day 1c already in level ten, he will have to enter the US$2,000 heat 1d as of 6 p.m. to make the money in this event.

A short stack is all-in for around 13,000 and takes a selfie with Dan "Jungleman" Cates when he arrives right next to him. Said player then flips over A♠J♠ and Stephen Song looks him up with the 3♦3♣. The mighty pair has to dodge a lot of outs but Song holds on the K♠6♥6♦9♠7♦ board, the table breaks right after.

Selim Souissi came over to the live reporting desk and was quite frustrated. "I made a mistake to play this tournament. I four-bet shoved 36k with pocket aces and the guy snap-called with queen-eight, rivered two pair," he said and then walked out not wanting to fire any more shells into this tournament.
On the way out, he walked past a table filled with big names as Christian Harder and Stephen Song were seated next to each other.
Song took a flop with A♣K♥ against the J♠J♥ of Jianfeng Sun. The 10♠4♠3♦A♥6♦ runout provides the ace on the turn.

The Day 1c field size has already reached more than 200 entries and the final few minutes of the registration period bring with it some ferocious action. Yi Wang got it in behind with J♣7♥ against the Q♣J♦ of Yu Chen.
The 9♠2♠2♥5♥J♠ board let the kicker play and Wang quickly vanished.

On a flop of Q♠10♣4♣, Liangliang Wang bet 5,000 when checked to and Julian Warhurst declared all-in. He first tossed in the solitary T-5,000 chip and had around 15,000 behind, Wang instantly folded.

Raffaele Sorrentino quickly got to work after his late entry and nearly quadrupled his stack. He then took on Weijue Cai when he opened to 2,000 and called a three-bet to 8,500. After the 10♠6♥2♠ flop, Cai continued for 8,000 to receive a call and jammed the Q♦ turn for 32,600. That was just shy of the pot size and Sorrentino asked for a count, then folded.
