In Level 5 (200/400/400 after three players had limped, Jimmy Wang raised to 1,400 from the button and Stuart Brown three-bet jammed for 6,200 from the big blind.
One by one the limpers all folded and Wang wasted little time in laying it down. Brown showed the 
and then pulled in the pot.

In Level 3 (100/200/200), Chris Moneymaker was sitting with a stack of 21,500 and we decided to spend an orbit with the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ.
Hand #1 (Hijack): Three players limped and Moneymaker folded his hand.
Hand #2 (Lojack): After the under-the-gun player limped, Moneymaker raised to 700. The player in the big blind called, as did the limper, and it was three-way action to the 
flop. Two checks saw Moneymaker continue for 1,000 and that did the trick as both his opponents folded.
"I had a pair," Moneymaker offered.
Hand #3 (Early Position): The under-the-gun player raised to 800 and Moneymaker, who was next to act, made the call. Four other players called, including Mark Cannon from the big blind, and it was six-way action to the 
flop.
Everyone checked, the dealer burned and turned the 
, and Cannon led out for 400. The next three players called ending with Moneymaker, while the other two players got out of the way.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Cannon bet 1,000 and the under-the-gun player called. Moneymaker and the other player in the hand both got out of the way and Cannon rolled over the [6s7h[ for the flopped bottom end of the straight. It was good as his opponent mucked.
Hand #4 (UTG): Moneymaker folded.
Hand #5 (Big Blind): The under-the-gun player raised to 600, a middle-position played three-bet all in for 3,400, and the next player to act jammed over the top for 10,000. Action folded back to the UTG player and he got out of the way.
Player A: 
Player B:
The board ran out 
and the players chopped it up.
Hand #6 (Small Blind): A player in middle position opened for 900 and Cannon called from the hijack, which inspired Moneymaker to fold from the small blind. The player in the big called and it was three-way action to the 
flop. The big blind checked, the original raiser continued for 2,200, and that cleared the field. The winner flashed the 
before pulling in the pot.
Hand #7 (Button): Cannon limped from middle position and Richard Leger raised to 700 from the hijack. Moneymaker folded, Cannon called, and the flop came down 
. Cannon check-called a bet of 1,300 and then check-folded to one of 5,000 from Leger on the river.
Hand #8 (Cutoff): In the final hand of the orbit, Cannon limped from early position and Leger did the same. The next player to act then raised to 1,100 and Moneymaker, as well as the rest of the players, folded.
Not much action from Moneymaker in that orbit. For now, he seems content to patiently grind.

Cards are in the air here on Day 1a of the Seminole Hard Rock Moneymaker's Road to the PSPC. There are simultaneous flights taking place at the Hard Rock Hollywood and Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.
Today, 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker is at the latter property competing against local players. Prior to the start, he had the honor of welcoming players to the tournament and gave the traditional "Shuffle up and deal."
This weekend, the Moneymaker's Road to PSPC goes through not one, but two Seminole Hard Rock properties!
Today, the $360 buy-in, $100K GTD Main Event will get underway at both the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood and Seminole Coconut Creek properties. The winner of the tournament, which will be determined on Sunday, will walk away with an added $30,000 Platinum Pass Package to attend the PSPC hosted in Barcelona, Spain in August 2020.
The Day 1a flights get underway at both properties at 10 a.m., while Day 1b will follow at the same time on Saturday. The surviving players from all flights at both venues will then combine at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood for Sunday's Day 2, which will get underway at 11 a.m. All players who make Day 2 are in the money.
Players will start with 20,000 in tournament chips and levels last 30 minutes. Late registration and re-entries are available until the start of Level 9.
One special factor about today's tournament is the fact that the man himself, 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker, is in action and rubbing elbows with participants. It's not everyday one gets the chance to play with a Poker Hall of Famer and win their way into one of poker's most-anticipated tournaments for a modest $360!

The PokerStars Blog has a dedicated page detailing future chances for players to get their hands on a coveted Platinum Pass, with plenty more opportunities before the end of 2019!
For the Day 1 flights, PokerNews updates will focus primarily on player profiles, feature stories, chip counts, photos, and location pieces. On Day 2 when players are in the money, our updates will shift focus to the action, eliminations, and play down to crowning another Moneymaker's Road to PSPC Platinum Pass winner!
