Day 2 is now set in the £140 Moneymaker Road to the PSPC Tour Newcastle Main Event. The final flight brought 138 new entries to the tables, boosting the total number of runners to 436. The prizepool, which will be awarded tomorrow to the top 71 finishers – most of the Day 2 field – stands at £52,320, a hefty figure for an event designed to be affordable. Both the winner and runner-up will receive £7,586, a tweak to the payouts that may remove some of the sting for second place of missing out on the added PSPC Platinum Pass (worth €26,000). For full payout information, click the tab above.

In good shape to make the money are today’s most deeply stacked survivors, Haji Hussein (417,500), Dominic Mulhall (368,500) and Thomas Peggs (318,000), who will join overall leader Daniel Stancer (454,500), William Robinson (433,500), Alan Surtees (406,000) and Saifur Chowdhury (393,500) at the top of the pile when play starts at noon tomorrow.

Other notable players making Day 2 from the final flight include Niall Farrell (64,000), fitness influencer Zac Aynsley (124,000), online qualifier Joss Murdoch (109,500) and Fraser MacIntyre, who flew his own plane up to Newcastle to join the Main Event with one hour left of late registration. They will join PokerStars Ambassador Chris Moneymaker himself (who made Day 2 with 128,000 on Day 1b and has spent the last two days enjoying the banter at the £1/£1 cash tables) as the battle to the final table commences.

Rejoin PokerNews from 12pm until the inaugural Moneymaker Tour Newcastle Main Event crowns its champion.
