Day 1C has belonged to Jason Smith, who not only sits with the biggest stack in the room, but currently has more than any players from Days 1A and 1B.
In a recent hand, the player in the cutoff limped and Smith raised to 6,000 from the button. Both blinds folded, the limper called, and the flop came down .
The cutoff checked, Smith bet 12,000, and a check-raise to 50,000 followed.
Smith responded by moving all in and his opponent snap-called off for around 150,000!

Smith had flopped the nut straight, but his opponent could still win with either a seven or nine. The turn was safe for Smith, and so was the river.
Jason Smith - 380,000
