Another 139 players entered Moneymaker's Road to PSPC 2020 on Day 1c, and just 21 advanced to Day 2.

Leading the way is Stephen Baker who sits with the overall chip lead after three flights, bagging 588,000. His cause was helped after a stunning hand in which he three-bet jammed with ten-five suited into pocket aces, only to river a flush.

He was also responsible for bursting the bubble after his pocket eights fell behind to ace-king on the flop, but he went runner-runner to ensure that he would sit in the chip lead ahead of Day 2.

"It was a bit of a loose shove," Baker said about the ten-five hand after bagging. "There was bubble pressure but I'd already gotten up to 200k. There was a hand where I made quads in a three-way all in so that certainly helped."

Baker isn't the only player over 500,000 in chips, with Ahmad Jerjis (546,000) and David Gough (pictured below) (537,000) also sitting pretty. Then there is a substantial drop back to PokerStars LIVE at the Hippodrome Ambassador Kelly Saxby (308,000).

Brankin Next to Double

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pete Brankin was all in from the big blind and there were four limps to a {5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop.

Nigel Milligan bet 20,000 and got rid of the other players, showing {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top pair. Brankin had flopped a straight draw with {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

The turn was the {7-Spades} but the river {9-Spades} completed his straight and he stayed alive.

Doshi Doubles Up

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With 22 players remaining, one off bagging for Day 2, Dhruv Doshi moved all in for 73,000 from the small blind.

The big blind tank-called with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} as Doshi showed {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} as the big blind missed a flush draw to allow Doshi to double through him.
