Angell, Daglish and James All Back for More

Djinn

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Back in the Main Event for a second (or third) attempt are Shaniece James (last spotted in the cash game respectably late after busting yesterday), Steven Daglish and UKIPT champ Brett Angell. Fresh players from as far afield as Edinburgh and London are also still arriving in a steady stream - it remains to be seen whether Newcastle's stop on the Moneymaker Tour will attract a similar total to that at Le Meridien (468) last week.

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Also returning to the fray (though not yet sat down) is fitness influencer Zac Aynsley, who took a break from the tables yesterday, we hear, to give Chris Moneymaker some tips on his workout regimen. Apparently he warmed up for Day 1d with some online tournaments this morning:

"I was up early, sitting with my laptop, rugby on - I placed 7th and 10th in two tournaments. My luck's in!"

Final Start Day (1d) of the Moneymaker Road to the PSPC Tour Newcastle Set To Commence

Djinn

The final flight in the inaugural Newcastle stop on the £140 Moneymaker Road to the PSPC Tour will begin at 2pm. So far, 49 players from a total field of 298 have progressed from one of three start days, with overall chip leader Daniel Stancer having built a tower of 454,500 chips from a starting stack of 30,000 on Day 1c.

Day 1d is set to be the busiest yet at Aspers Casino, Newcastle, as both new arrivals and those busted in prior flights take their final shot at a run for the prize money (to be confirmed after late registration ends at the start of Level 9) and a chance to win a Platinum Pass worth €26,000 along with a coveted Moneymaker Tour trophy.

Once more, play will run through 14 30-minute levels with a break after every four; the day will end around midnight. Live coverage starts with today’s “shuffle up and deal.”
