Level 17: 5,000/10,000 (10,000)
Entries: 92/612

The Day 1c bubble lasted “only” about 40 minutes; a cakewalk compared to yesterday’s 1a marathon.

That being said, of course, it had to be in dramatic fashion. Hand-for-hand play was introduced with 94 players remaining, and Francesco Amendola became a victim in absolutely brutal fashion, as his full house with aces over sixes was no match against the quad sixes of Krystian Nalepka. Ouch!

With 93 players remaining, Table 12 would prove to be where it all would conclude. The flop read 7♠J♥Q♥, when Michal Wesolowski got his whole 215,000 stack in the middle against Wipat Udomkanjananan. Wesolowski turned over A♠A♥, but he was up against Udomkanjananan’s 7♣7♦. The 6♥ turn gave him some additional hope to beat the flopped set of Udomkanjananan, but the T♣ wasn’t one of his outs. As such, Wesolowski became the unfortunate bubble boy, and the 92 survivors all received a bag for their chips.

That concludes today’s live coverage, but before we sign off, the chip counts from Day 1c and 1d will be published. Thanks to everyone who’s been tuning into the live blog today, and see you all tomorrow.
