Level 13 of Day 1c is now over, so late registration is closed. While waiting for the official numbers, Day 1c has already broken Day 1b's record with almost 1,000 entries.
There is a last chance to try to qualify for Day 2 with Day 1d, which started at 7 p.m. It is a Turbo flight, with 15-minute levels. Already, 200 players are in the last flight of the festival.
The pot stood at 23,500 with the full board having been dealt 3♣6♥5♣10♥4♦.
Jeremy Momcorge, in the big blind, led out for a sizeable pot-sized bet of 23,500. Robert Fishot, who was under the gun, made a quick call. Momcorge tabled K♣Q♠ for king high, while Fishot claimed this pot with K♠10♣, for top pair.

The stream just revealed that after the break, French streamer Skyyart moved all-in from under the gun for 37,500, and that Cecile Ticherfatine in the small blind shoved for 73,500 to make Sacha Cohen in the big blind fold.
Skyyart: A♣7♠ 
Cecile Ticherfatine: 9♣9♠
The A♦ was in the window but it was followed by the 9♥4♦. So Skyyart's hopes with top pair quickly disappeared when he discovered Ticherfatine's set and he was eliminated after the K♦ turn and the 8♦ river.

The button moved all in for their last 28,000 and Victor Fryda, in the small blind, had them at risk.
Button: 8♥8♠
Victor Fryda: 10♠10♦
The flop brought no sweat for Fryda as it landed K♣9♥10♣, meaning the button needed running cards to stay alive. The A♥ turn had them drawing dead, and the 9♣ river confirmed their departure.

The hijack raised to 6,000, Rabah Hamoum called in the cutoff and the small blind squeezed to 16,500, from the small blind. The original raiser folded and Hamoum called.
The small blind continued for 8,500 on the Q♠J♦4♥ flop. Hamoum elected to see a turn.
The 6♦ fell and the small blind slowed down with a check. Hamoum didn't take long to bet out 50,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in. After some time in the tank, the small blind relinquished their cards.

PokerNews' live report will resume after the break, around 10 p.m. local time.
In the 831st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Nikki Limo, who is filling in for Mike Holtz, at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about her time as the Loose Cannon on the PokerStars Big Game. The first two episodes recently dropped featuring Limo squaring off against Phil Hellmuth, Alex Keating, Arden Cho, Lex Veldhuis, and Jennifer Tilly.
Limo discusses how she got cast for the show, what happened when she played "Two Truths and a Bluff," and then Kyna & Chad surprise her by offering up some bluffs of their own. Limo also delves into a big hand that she played against the "Poker Brat" that went poker viral.
The crew then talked about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) being less than a week away, and take a look at some of the "Best Without a Bracelet" including Maria Ho, Seth Davies, and Bin Weng, just to name a few. Plus, will Phil Ivey be at the 2024 WSOP? Find out what the hosts think in this episode.
From there, they take a look at Jessica Vierling winning the WSOP Commerce $1,700 Main Event for $328,273, plus all the big winners from the Triton Montenegro including Mike Watson, Igor Yaroshevskyy, Adrian Mateos, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, who all won seven-figure scores!
Finally, Kyna and Nikki play a game of #PokerThrift in which they have to guess whether or not Chad bought some random poker items he found in secondhand stores in Las Vegas. Oh, and there's a preview of Raminder Singh's appearance on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker show hosted by Connor Richards.
