As play winds down at the end of Day 1c, some are celebrating survival, prosperity, or the end of a 12-hour grind by imbibing adult beverages.
Jonathan Duhamel performed a toast with his neighbor before they sipped on freshly bought beers, while Aaron Massey bought a round for Table 349.

Athanasios Polychronopoulos tossed out a bet of 3,000 on a board of 
, and his opponent check-raised to 12,000. Polychronopoulos studied the player, then turned his attention to the player's chips.
"Oh!" the player blurted, nearly jumping out of his chair. "I don't have many to show."
He fanned the remainder of his stack, revealing 25,200 or so, and Polychronopoulos returned to the tank. He eventually folded 
face up, and his opponent slid his cards into the muck facedown.

Gus Hansen, who entered this tournament very last minute, has been on quite a tear during his short Day 1 playing time.
Hansen just called a raise in the big blind from the player in the small, after which the flop brought out 
. Both players checked and Hanse picked up the pot on the turn after betting 1,125.
Hansen's now sitting at Andreas Hoivold's table and these two top European pros are likely to apply tons of pressure on their opponents with about 50 minutes left in the day.

Several players are enjoying a beer as the tournament moves into the last hour of a long day for the survivors. One player in Brasilia seems to have started enjoying himself a little earlier that most and is a little worse for wear. Every now and then he can be heard to shout, “You've gotta have heart.” as he wins another pot.
We witnessed a recent hand where he called a raise and four players called to see a king high flop and he bet out, pointing to each player as they folded in turn and the pot was pushed to him.
On the next hand he asked how much the big blind was and on hearing it was 400 he announced a bet of 1,400. The player to his left went all in for 12,000 and when it got back to him he called with 
and was against 
. The cards ran out 
and on seeing the river card he gave out another whoop of, “You’ve gotta have heart.”
As the busted player walked past he got his wallet out and tried to offer him $200 but was refused.
He would only tell PokerNews that his name was Bartlett (He’s wearing a Bartlett Construction T-Shirt) and with his chips stacked in a haphazard jumble we could only guess how much he has.
On a flop of 
, Tom Dwan was all in for about 11,000 and his opponent was in the tank.
"I can't bring myself to do it," the player said, mucking face up. "It's Tom Dwan, what am I supposed to do?"
