The Third and Final Starting Flight: Coverage To Begin Shortly
Welcome to the third and final starting flight for the first event of the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific, the AU$1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Accumulator. While Day 1b labors on into the last few levels, Day 1c will kick off at 6:10 p.m. local time. That will allow for some overlap between the two events, and PokerNews will hold off on coverage of the early levels of Day 1c until play wraps up on Day 1b.
Certainly there will be some notables finishing up with their Day 1b play, but the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso, Jeff Gross, George Danzer, and Brandon Shack-Harris have all busted that flight and should be in the mix from the get go in Day 1c. They'll be joined by many, many others as it is expected to be the largest flight of the bunch.
Just as Day 1a and 1b, Day 1c will play out eight 60-minute levels with a 15-minute break after every two levels. There will be no dinner break, and competitors begin the flight with 3,000 in tournament chips.
Be sure to stay tuned right here for all of the live updates straight to your screen, but don't forget about our continued coverage of Day 1b, which you can follow along with here.

One for Hellmuth
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
A player in early position opened for 350 only to have Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 850 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, and then the original raiser made a quick call to see a flop of 
, which they both checked.
When the 
appeared on the turn, the early-position player checked and Hellmuth bet a modest 400. It did the trick as his opponent shook his head and released his cards.

Truong Loses with Another Full House
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
"I lost with a full house again," Tam Truong informed us.
Truong, who was eliminated from the Day 1b flight when his full house fell to quads, explained that while he technically lost with a full house, it wasn't as bad as it seemed. He had actually got his stack in preflop holding 
only to run into an opponent's 
.
The board ran out 
, so Truong had been drawing dead even before he made the full house. The hometown pro said that he plans to play in tomorrow's Event #2 $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em, so we'll see him back in action then.
