The action on Day 1c began slowly and it took nearly half of the day for a chip lead to get established. Jay Kinkade was the first player to move ahead of the rest. Kinkade is known for his success in online tournaments however over the past few years he showed that his is a dangerous opponent in the live events too.

He then held to the chip lead for most of the day. However the action in the evening moved towards other players at the same table. Tony Dalavinias and Rob Angood both collected massive chip stacks sand David Yan bagged up the second largest stack of the day.
