Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
A player opened from early position, getting two callers, one in middle position and Sasho Popovski in the big blind.
Popovski checked and the pre-flop raiser bet 2,000. The player in middle position shoved for 5,700 and Popovski shoved for around starting stack.
The initial raiser open-folded 
and Popovski showed 
for a wheel. His opponent had flopped two pair with 
and needed to improve to a full house to stay alive. The turn 
and river 
didn't help him and he was eliminated.

He has been seated to the direct right of former Platinum Pass winner Asif Warris.
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
The London location for this leg of Moneymaker's Road to PSPC means that several British regulars have joined the field, but one player has come a little bit further in order to try and acquire a coveted Platinum Pass for next year's PSPC in Barcelona.
Two weeks ago, Josh Brown saw the promotion of being able to win a Platinum Pass and hopped on a plane from Australia to be here for this event.
"It was very last minute," said Brown "I had a bit of time off work. I had a big birthday a couple of weeks ago, so I decided it was a birthday present to myself.
"I know there was an Australian guy in one of the earlier ones who had travelled to play. But when I told my mates, they all said 'Wow, that's a long way to go.' I love London and thankfully my partner is very supportive of poker so she said 'Yeah, go' and here I am!"
Brown says he's been playing recreationally for the last eight years, but over the last year or so he's gotten more into it through watching EPT live streams and listening to the Poker in the Ears podcast.
Attention fellow #pokerintheears fans. I'm traveling from Oz to London for the Moneymaker PSPC tour. Got a few ques… https://t.co/yejaSPO7Ml

He says that watching last year's PSPC from afar reiterated just how big the opportunity is.
"It's huge," he said. "Watching it at the beginning of the year; the whole live stream. It was really enjoyable, watching all of the EPT stuff.
"The opportunities in Australia are quite limited, with no online poker, so when this came up I thought I'd make the most of it."
Should he win the tournament and earn that coveted Platinum Pass, brown says the prospect of another long-haul flight to Barcelona next August would be "a bit of a drain" but that he'd "make it work."
"Barcelona is a great city. The weather's a little bit different to London. But the atmosphere would be great. I'm not used to poker in Europe; even in an event like this, it's bigger than what I'm used to.
"It would be quite impressive with all the big names, things like that. But putting that to one said I'm just happy to play. I love to play."
Despite being on his third bullet after busting twice yesterday, he says he's doing much better today.
"It's more about playing the game and the money and Platinum Pass will come later if I get that far. I'm just trying to enjoy it and play the game!"

John Field had already made a strong start to the tournament, chipping up to around 50,000 before he defended his small blind to an open to 800 from the hijack.
The big blind called also, going three-ways to a 
flop. It checked to the pre-flop raiser who bet 1,100 and Field called, with the big blind getting out of the way.
The turn 
was checked by both players, and the river was the 
. Field bet 3,500 and after a short tank, the big blind folded.
