Kastriot Shytani got his remaining chips in preflop and was called by Cao Cuong Hoang on his direct left. It was bad news when the cards were turned over, with Shytani in a long way behind.

It has been a tough start for Mohammed Sohel, who has been seen walking away from his table after a dealer announced: "seat open!"
There are unlimited re-entries; so though he may be down, he is not necessarily out just yet.

Cards are in the air as Day 1a of the Moneymaker Road to the PSPC Tour gets out of the starting blocks.
Level: 1
Blinds: 100/100
Ante: 0
There has been a delay to the proceedings but Day 1a is expected to get underway very soon.
The Moneymaker’s Road to the PSPC Tour is back for another leg, this time gracing Asper’s Casino in Stratford, London. Following four successful stops, it’s time to return to London for the ever-popular series that gives players the ultimate chance to live the poker dream with a coveted PSPC Platinum Pass* (worth approx. $30,000) up for grabs for the winner.
The man whose name is at the centre of the series, Chris Moneymaker, is the perfect example of how to turn a few dollars and a dream into life-changing money. Back in 2003 Moneymaker did exactly that, converting $86 into $2.5 million by taking down the WSOP Main Event and changing the landscape of poker in the process, with the PokerStars Pro credited as the person who lit the fuse on the poker boom.
The tournament will play out over the next seven days, with seven Day 1 flights taking place between now and Friday 8th November. The winner will join Andrew Barham, who took down the London Meridian Leg (£7,501) and Daniel Stancer, winner of the Newcastle leg (£7,989), at the PSPC 2020, for the €22,500 event that will be held in Barcelona.
The tournament entry is £120+£20 and players receive 30,000 chips in exchange, with unlimited re-entries available until the end of Level 12. Levels last 30 minutes and there will be a break every two hours. Play is scheduled to conclude when Level 16 has been completed, at around 2:45am local time.
*Each Platinum Pass (worth approx. $30,000) includes:
Buy-in to the €22,500 PSPC 2020 event
Six nights’ hotel accommodation for two people in a 5* Barcelona Hotel
Airport transfers
Bespoke PSPC Merchandise
€1,250 to cover expenses
