Kanit Stealing the Show

Milko van Winden

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Showman Mustapha Kanit was seen clapping and dancing when the confetti sprayed over the new platinum pass winners and he is all smiles at the table. He has a reason for it as well since he won three pots in a row.

Simeon Naydenov raised from early position to 2,500 and Mustapha Kanit three-bet from the small blind when it folded to him. He put 9,300 in the middle and that was enough to make Naydenov fold.

The next hand saw Ema Zajmovic open the action with a raise of 2,200 from the cutoff and Kanit three-bet again. He sized it 6,000 this time and Zajmovic folded.

The third hand in a row that was won by Kanit saw him raise to 2,200 and that won him the pot after the button and both blinds folded.

First Five Platinum Pass Winners Confirmed

Shirley Ang

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Daryl Inglis - Clement Eloy - Adrian Garcia - Danielle Summer - Christoph Walkenhorst

As mentioned before, the winner of the "Chase your Dream" promotion would be taking home €10,000 and the first Platinum Pass for the 2020 PSPC in Barcelona. After Adrian Garcia and Clement Eloy played their heads-up, Eloy came out victorious.

But to the surprise of them all, the other three finalists, Danielle Summer, Christoph Walkenhorst, and Daryl Inglis were called upon the stage too and together with Garcia were presented with a Platinum Pass of their own.

So these are the first five players to receive their entry to the PSPC in Barcelona which will take place in Barcelona in August 2020.
