Moneymaker Leads Moneymaker's Road to PSPC 2020
After four starting flights at Moneymaker's Road to PSPC 2020 here at the Hippodrome Casino at Le Meridien, Piccadilly the remaining players will resume for Day 2 with the field all in the money.
The tournament attracted a total of 464 entries and after each starting flight played down to 15% just 71 players remain, and there is a familiar name sitting atop the chip counts.
After Simon Green (Day 1a - 347,000), Savvas Mitsikouridis (Day 1b - 498,500) and Stephen Green (Day 1c - 588,000) emerged as chip leader of their respective flights, Chris Moneymaker soared to within touching distance of 600,000 after bagging 597,000 to lead the remaining players.
Moneymaker had told us yesterday that his luck so far on the Moneymaker Tour hasn't been as good as last season, but perhaps this is a sign his luck is about to change.
Both he and the remaining field are guaranteed £217 with a first prize of £10,454 and grab a coveted Platinum Pass worth more than €26,000 (approx. $30,000).

Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
PokerStars Ambassador Chris Moneymaker, who happens to also be the chip leader, was on hand to announce the shuffle up and deal at the start of Day 2.
"Thanks for coming down and supporting the tournament. I want to wish everyone good luck. Obviously, everyone's in the money today. One of the common questions I get asked when I'm doing these things, is what happens if I win? Well, to answer your question I don't win the pass. Whoever comes second wins the pass, and I juts get all the money!
"Win-win situation, for me and you. I think half the field has already bust me on one of the Day 1s - I think I fired five or six bullets - so have fun today. We're gonna be playing down to a final table today. So have a good time, everybody shuffle up and deal!"
