Moneymaker Joins the Field
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
It used to be that Barry Greenstein was known as the 'Robin Hood of Poker' but considering Chris Moneymaker's recent exploits, they may have to rethink that moniker.
Moneymaker, whose name adorns this festival, has arrived midway through the third level of the day to jump into Moneymaker's Road to PSPC 2020.
"I woke up super early and went back to bed," said Moneymaker. "But now I'm well-rested and ready to play!"
This is the third of eight stops Moneymaker is making, four of which are in the UK & Ireland, dishing out a Platinum pass at events in not just London, but Newcastle, Milton Keynes and Dublin.
