2019 Platinum Pass Payne Back for More

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Last year Blair Payne finished fourth at Megastack Namur in Belgium, narrowly missing out on a Platinum Pass. However, just a week later he won his Pass winning an all-in shootout. He was on holiday in Naples sitting in a bar when he got his winner's email through.

He mainly plays Texas Hold'em and the Scot has travelled here for a chance at scooping a Platinum Pass for the second year in succession.

2020 Platinum Pass Winner Parsons in the Field

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

The Belfast student won his Platinum Pass at Lex Live back in May. Known as 'Predator410' online, he was one of six players that won a flip to be entered into a special Sit and Go.

Visitors to Lex Live were given a scavenger hunt-esque card with tasks on it. If you managed to complete ten out of fourteen tasks you were given a special stamp that entered you in a flip.

Twenty-four players got ten stamps or more and Parsons was one of the lucky ones. He then won a quick sit and go that was streamed live to secure a Platinum Pass for the 2020 PSPC in Barcelona.
