In a pot of around 20,000, Keith Rodriguez got his stack of 42,700 in on a 4♣6♠3♦X♥ turn, and was up against Michael Bellantoni, who had him just about covered.
Keith Rodriguez: 7♣5♣ 
Michael Bellantoni: 4♠4♥
The river did not pair the board, shipping the pot to Rodriguez's straight. Bellantoni, meanwhile, was left with just ten big blinds to try and spin up.
The players in Day 1c of the Main Event have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day.
There have been 1,247 entries so far in this flight, with 1,234 players remaining after the first level of action.
Here is a look at some of the highlights from the first two hours:
Play resumes at 1:23 p.m. in Level 2 with blinds of 200/300, and a 300 big blind ante.
Breno Drummond raised to 600 in middle position, and Arlene Weinsier called in the hijack. William O'Neal then three-bet to 2,500, which both Drummond and Weinsier called.
The action checked to O'Neal on a 2♦7♠7♦ flop, who continued with a bet of 4,000. Drumond put in a check-raise to 10,000, which saw Weinsier fold but O'Neal call.
Drumond continued with a bet of 9,000 on the 9♥ turn, and, after a lengthy tank, O'Neal called.
The A♠ river completed the board, and Drumond fired out one more time, putting half of his stack into the pot, 22,000. O'Neal snap-called.
Drumond tabled 8♦6♦, for just eight-high.
"What's he got?" O'Neal asked. Upon receiving the news, he tabled 10♥10♦ to claim the pot.
Players were three-ways and on the flop with a pot of around 25,000. They were looking at a 3♠7♥5♥ board and John Parker had bet 10,000 from the big blind. Marco Meisser called from the cutoff and John Parker folded from the small blind.
A 7♣ turn saw Beaupre move all in for his last 40,100. Meisser had just 39,000 behind and made the call for his tournament life.
Marco Meisser: 5♦5♣
Shawn Beaupre: A♦A♠
Meisser had flopped a set of fives, and turned the boat, which was holding against Beaupre's pocket aces.
With only another ace as an out, the 6♦ river did nothing to save Beaupre's stack from being pushed across the table, and he was down to just a handful of big blind.
In the next hand Georgios Sotiropoulos opened from late position and covered Beaupre's last 1,200. Beaupre made the quick call and the pair went to showdown.
Shawn Beaupre: K♦6♦
Georgios Sotiropoulos: K♣6♣
With no player holding hearts, the 6♥A♣2♥ flop did nothing to differentiate the hands. Beaupre was only able to gain 200 from the hand after the 3♣ turn and Q♠ river was placed.
In a pot of 6,500, Fabian Quoss checked the 3♣8♥6♦ flop from the big blind to Mauricio Solano in the cutoff. Solano bet 2,800, which Quoss called.
After the 9♦ turn checked through, Quoss bet 8,000 on the 2♠ river. Solano snap-called, but he could not beat Quoss' Q♠Q♥ and consequently mucked his hand.
Simeon Spasov opened to 500 from early position before Derek Whitt called from the next seat over. Yuzhou Yin joined the fray with a call on the button before Yong Lee opted to increase the price with a three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind.
Spasov folded, while Whitt and Yin called.
The J♠10♠5♥ flop prompted a check from Lee before Whitt bet 11,000. Yin gave it some thought before he put in the call, while Lee discarded his hand with a fold.
Whitt asked for a count before he put out enough to put Yin all in on the Q♥ turn. Yin slid in the call, and the two went to a showdown with Yin at risk for 34,500.
Yuzhou Yin: 9♦8♠
Derek Whitt: 5♣5♦
The turn was a disaster for Whitt, and Yin hit his straight to take the lead, but Whitt was far from down and out with a chance to improve to a full house or quads on the river.
That did not come to pass as the river was the 8♣ to award Yin the large pot.
On a flop of 6♥3♣2♦, Masao Watanabe in the small blind check-raised from 2,400 to 6,000, and Mark Kelly called on the button. They checked the 10♣ turn and Watanabe bet the K♦ river for 14,000. Kelly instantly declared "call" and was shown the A♦Q♠ for a bluff, which Kelly had beat holding A♥K♠ for a rivered pair of kings.
A preflop raising war saw Michael Tweedlie get all of the chips into the middle against Abbas Heidari and it was the most classic of setups that unfolded.
Abbas Heidari: A♠A♦
Michael Tweedlie: K♥K♣
The J♦4♦3♥ flop was safe for Heidari as was the 4♣ on the turn. However, Tweedlie spiked the K♠ on the river and that spelled the end for Heidari. Both stacks were counted and the very active Tweedlie had chipped up to more than 65,000 already to knock out Heidari as second casualty on Day 1c.
He was followed by Jesse McVicker a few minutes later.
Dewitt Newkirk and Stephen Graner went head-to-head in a hand after just 20 minutes of Day 1c action. Newkirk was on the button, and Graner was sitting under the gun.
The pair were on the river, and the pot stood at around 6,000. The board had run out 10♦10♣9♥ on the flop, A♥ on the turn, and action was caught from the J♣ river.
Newkirk already had a 20,000 bet in front of him, and Graner had jammed for his remaining stack, covering Newkirk's last 26,100 chips that he hadn't already committed to the pot.
Newkirk went into a tank and said, "I have to call," before he picked up his stack and moved it into the pot and said, "I call."
Another player at the table said, "Really?!" just as the cards were turned.
Dewitt Newkirk: Q♥8♥
Stephen Graner: A♦A♠
Newkirk let out a "Damn!" and stood up from the table after he saw Graner flip over his pocket aces, as he was behind to his boat. Newkirk's rivered straight wasn't enough to keep him in the main event, and he was the first to walk away from the tables shortly after the start of Day 1c.
Bobby Simons raised from the cutoff before Daniel Klodowski three-bet to 1,400 on the button. Petros Triantafylidis cold-called from the big blind, and Simons came back with a four-bet to 6,000. Klodowski wasn't done yet, as he put in a five-bet to 15,000. Triantafylidis got out of the way, but Simons called.
With over 30,000 in the middle, Simons checked the 3♣Q♣J♠ flop, and Klodowski fired a continuation-bet of 6,000. Simons stuck around with a call.
Simons checked again when the A♦ arrived on the turn, and Klodowski continued for 12,000. Simons quickly folded, and Klodowski dragged in the pot.
