It's the second break of the day, which means play is now a little over halfway through.
Moneymaker's Road to PSPC 2020 - London
Thomas Winstone opened 3,000 on the cutoff and Chia Fu Hsu three-bet him to 10,000 on the button. Dante Matei cold-called in the blinds and when it came back to Winstone, he moved all-in effective for 55,000. Hsu didn't think about it too long before making the call and Matei needed even less time to think, sending his cards into the muck.

Getnet Kassa started the day with a double after getting it in with pocket-aces vs pocket-kings in the first hand of the day. The momentum hasn't continued though, with Kassa finding himself short and just now he moved all in preflop and was called by Celso Padilha.

Daniel Silverman and Luke Evans were heads up in a pot on the flop with ![]()
![]()
on show. Silverman, playing from under the gun, checked to Evans, who bet 11,500. Silverman called and they saw a
come on the turn.
Silverman checked again and Evans bet 15,100. After timing down for almost 30 seconds, Silverman moved all in. He covered Evans, who had 27,000 behind and Evans quickly called but couldn't hide his disappointment when he saw the bad news.
Daniel Silverman: ![]()
![]()
Luke Evans: ![]()
![]()
There was no coming back for Evans, who had two pair but was drawing dead to Silverman's set. Still, the dealer put a
down to complete the board.
Silverman is really flying now. After falling in the last three minutes of Day 1a, he is feeling happier about the result, telling the table: "It's a good thing I busted yesterday". That pot makes him the current chip leader.
