On a board of A♥8♠4♥6♠8♣ there were over 30,000 chips in the pot when Aleksei Smirnov bet 22,000 on the river, and Alec Torelli shoved for around 70,000. Smirnov had a little over 30,000 remaining in his stack and was deep in the tank while he decided if he wanted to put himself at risk. After thinking for some time, the clock was called on Smirnov and he eventually folded.
Richard Ochs found himself as one of his table’s shorter stacks and he elected to move all in out of early position with his remaining 3,800.
A player to his right called to put Ochs at risk.
Richard Ochs: Q♣10♥ 
Opponent: K♠5♠
The dealer fanned 10♠K♣6♥ on the flop, giving Ochs a pair of tens and his opponent top pair.
The 9♥ appeared on the turn, giving Ochs a gutshot straight possibility. Ochs completed the straight when J♠ arrived on the rive to give him the winning hand and much-needed chips.
Aleksandr Gofman opened from the button and faced Jimmy Guerrero, who defended from the big blind.
Gofman continued for 1,200 on 4♠3♥A♠. Guerrero check-called, then bet 2,000 on the 5♣ turn. Gofman called.
Guerrero fired a second barrel of 6,300 on the Q♠ river, but Gofman raised to 20,000. Guerrero went into the tank and eventually folded.
Picking up the action on the river, Michael Trivett on the button was involved in a hand with a player in early position.
With the board reading A♣4♠7♠2♦J♣ the early position player bet 13,000. Trivett responded with a raise to 35,000, representing roughly half of his opponent's stack. After considerable thought, the early position player sigh called holding A♠J♠ as he seemed prepared to lose the pot. That was, in fact, the outcome with Trivett tabling A♦A♥ for a set of aces.
The remaining players in Day 1c have been sent on their last 20-minute break of the day. Here are some highlights from the last two hours of play:
Niveau: 5
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
Aleksei Smirnov raised to 1,200 from under the gun and Alec Torelli called from the cutoff. The small blind also called.
On the K♥10♥5♦ flop, it checked to Smirnov who fired a continuation bet of 1,300, which both Torelli and the small blind called.
A 4♥ landed on the turn which checked to Torelli, who then bet 5,000. The small blind and Smirnov called.
The board-pairing K♦ fell on the river and the action was once again checked to Torelli, who bet 15,000. The small blind and Smirnov both quickly got out of the way, and Torelli raked the pot.
Mike Coombs had a three-bet of 3,800 in front of him on the button and his opponent in middle position called.
Coombs' opponent check-called a 3,000 bet on the 4♥10♣K♠ flop and a 9,000 bet on the 6♣ turn.
Both players checked on the Q♥ river and the player in middle position showed A♥10♥ for a pair of tens.
Coombs tabled K♦J♣ for a pair of kings and collected the pot.
