Big Slick Does the Trick for Gill
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
We're not sure how the preflop action unfolded, but we do know Oliver Gill got his stack of 4,375 all in preflop and was racing for his tournament life.
Gill: 
Opponent: 
Gill was behind, but he had two overs. The 
flop was no help to him, but the 
turn was as it gave him the lead with kings. The 
river failed to influence the hand, and Gill scored the double.

We saw a three-way flop of 
and the action was folded to Jan Suchanek, who led out for 725. The player in the small blind now check-raised heavily to 6,500 and that was enough to scare off both opponents that were still in the hand.

Some Shots from the Day 1c Field
Bartrom Takes from Shack-Harris
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Brandon Shack-Harris, who currently leads the 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year race, opened for 500 from early position and received a call from Mark Bartrom in the big blind. Bartrom proceeded to check-call a bet of 500 on the 
flop, and then both players checked the turn. When the completed the board on the river, Bartrom fired out 850 and Shack-Harris called.
Bartrom tabled the 
for queens and sevens with an ace kicker, and it was good as Shack-Harris flashed the 
before folding his hand.
Meanwhile, Jan Suchanek was eliminated from the tournament.

One for Henson
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
"It was actually way too much and I should not have called," said Ray Henson after we saw the player two seats over leave the table. After one limp, Henson raised to 600 and the short stack moved all in for 3,550. We already say that move before against an open raise from Phil Hellmuth and Henson decided to call with pocket nines including the .
He was up against 
and the flop delivered one of the over cards in . Fortunately for Henson, two further diamonds appeared on turn and river to give him a flush and the pot.

Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Mike Watson got his stack of 2,950 all in against an unknown opponent.
Watson:
Opponent: 
Watson needed some help, and he found some when the 
flop paired his ace. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing, and Watson secured the much-needed double.
