Day 1cd Started
After 84 entries on Day 1a and 94 entries on Day 1b, a total of 28 players have guaranteed themselves seats in Day 2 of the Moneymaker Road to PSPC 2020, and today sees players have two more chances to advance.
A Platinum Pass worth more than €26,000 will be awarded to the winner, which gives free entry to the €22,500 PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship (PSPC) in Barcelona in 2020, as well as six nights' standard accommodation (for two persons) at a five-star hotel in Barcelona.
Players will be chasing Savvas Mitsikouridis (498,500) and Dominic Wells (405,000) who both bagged big in yesterday's evening flight, as well as Day 1a chip leader Simon Green (347,000).
Today, Day 1c gets underway at 12 p.m. and a bumper 6 p.m. flight is expected to be even bigger than yesterday's.
Registration will be open for six levels on Day 1. Players receive 30,000 chips and will have one re-entry available, and a reminder that players can only register for one flight at a time.

London is one of several European capitals that is a well-known destination for poker players looking to make a home for themselves. Therefore, all sorts of European players, as well as London regulars, have joined the field.
The latest player to saunter into Le Meridien, Piccadilly is Frenchman Antoine Saout. With just under $8m in lifetime earnings, good enough for fourth on the French all-time money list, it's no joke to say that he might have more in live cashes than the rest of the field put together.
