On Wednesday, the 2023 PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) saw 255 players from the 1,014-player field return to action. With the top 175 finishers making the money – a min-cash being worth $35,100 – it meant 80 players would leave empty-handed.
Among those to hit the rail before the money were Matt Berkey, Josh Arieh, reigning WSOP champ Espen Jorstad, and Survivor alum “Boston” Rob Mariano. Likewise, plenty of Platinum Pass winners bowed out early including Gonzalo Leal, Michael Goodman, Josif Spulber, and Rakesh Ramdial, who you might recall had quite the story as his wife initially thought his Platinum Pass win was a scam.
