Florian Duta had made it 7,000 to go from middle position and Harrison Herbert called on the button. Paul Allen in the big blind bumped it up to 18,000, which both Duta and Herbert called.
Despite the heavy preflop action, it checked to the river on the 4♥A♣3♥2♦7♥ board where Allen shoved for around 40,000. Both Duta and Herbert quickly folded.
Thomas Cazaletz opened from middle position to 6,000 and George Demetriou called from the cutoff. Joshua Boulton also came along from the big blind.
The trio went to a flop of 4♠Q♦8♣ where Boulton checked, and Cazaletz fired 8,000. Both Demetriou and Boulton called.
On the 7♣ turn, Boulton checked again and Cazaletz continued to bet with a sizing of 20,000. Demetriou quickly called, and Boulton tossed his cards away.
A 2♥ landed on the river and Cazaletz prepared chips and threw 27,000 of them over the betting-line. Demetriou called at lightning speed, then mucked when Cazaletz showed A♠Q♥ for top pair, top kicker.

With 276 entries being recorded on Day 1c of the Main Event, it means that 41 will make it through to Day 2 and into the money.
Currently, 82 players are still in their seats, which means around half the field need to be eliminated before play comes to an end.
On a full board of 5♠6♣10♠10♣6♦, there were around 50,000 chips in the middle when Paul Trotter checked and Ben Shannon fired 40,000. Trotter was in the tank for a while, but ultimately decided on a call.
Shannon then showed quads with 6♠6♥, and Trotter had no choice but to muck his cards.
David McConachie had his stack of around 40,000 in the middle preflop against Maria Lampropulos.
David McConachie: A♥J♠ 
Maria Lampropulos: Q♠Q♣
McConachie needed the board to help him out, but the flop of 2♠9♥8♦ didn't look too promising. The 10♥ turn did improve him to an open-ended straight draw, however the 3♠ river was a brick, which meant McConachie was eliminated.
