More Day 1c Hopefuls

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

A steady stream of late registrants continues to swell the Day 1c field (there are still over three hours left to enter). A few more players in action in Level 2:

Lyons Squeezes Six

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The hunt for inexpensive flops appears to be on over at Table 4, thwarted by a large preflop squeeze from Paul Lyons.

Under the gun plus one, Stephen Harris opened to 600. Every in-position playerbut one made the call, then action passed to small blind Lyons, who threw out 5,200. None of his potential opponents took much time to pass, and he picked up 4,200 with not a face-up card in sight.

Firaldo in the Field

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Attracted, apparently, by places that are both "fun to drink in and awarding a Platinum Pass," Niall Farrell has joined the Day 1c fray.

If At First You Don't Succeed

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

A few players seated in Level 1 were unsuccessful in their first attempt (or two) to bag chips for Day 2 and are back for another shot with a fresh 30,000 stack (Gray, Pogue, James), but many more have turned up with the one-bullet dream still intact.

Day 1c of the Moneymaker Road to the PSPC Tour Newcastle Starts at 7pm

The third flight in the £140 Moneymaker Road to the PSPC Tour Main Event at Aspers, Newcastle, is set to commence at 7pm local time. A total of 168 entries so far have propelled just 30 survivors forward into Sunday’s Day 2; today’s flight will substantially add to that number. Now that the weekend is upon us, players have travelled from around the country to take part in an affordable event that will award a Platinum Pass worth €26,000 to the winner.

Yesterday saw Saifur Chowdhury top the chip counts with 393,500, with Day 1a’s William Robinson (433,500) still in front overall. Chris Moneymaker made Day 2 with his last bullet (up to two re-entries are allowed per day) with slightly under average chips, so unless he chooses to forfeit his stack, today’s players won’t have the opportunity to clash with him over the felt. They may, however, get a chance to meet the gregarious PokerStars Ambassador who has built his grassroots Road to the PSPC into a now global poker phenomenon.

Play follows the same schedule as previous flights: 14 half-hour levels, with 15-minute breaks every four. Players start with 30,000 in chips and blinds at 100/200. Live coverage starts with Day 1c’s “shuffle up and deal.”
