Platinum Pass Secured; Parsons Looks for More Practice Ahead of PSPC 2020
Tom Parson has already secured himself a Platinum Pass to the 2020 PSPC in Barcelona, but says that the allure of the live felt and the desire to get as much practice in before next year was just too much.
"I can't win another one," said Parsons on the first break of Day 1a of Moneymaker's Road to PSPC here in Dublin. "But live experience is always a good thing, especially with me looking forward to going to Barcelona. But it's also about meeting up with people again. It's really nice to have a little break, especially in the middle of my term time."
After emerging victorious in a special Lex Live sit and go, Parsons says that the live bug had bitten, leading him to travel and play more in preparation for next year.
"It was a ridiculous, ridiculous tournament. It was an amazing festival. It makes you want to travel and play more, even if it's not to a Lex Live. If it's just to one of these Moneymaker events, you're still going to see familiar faces and you're still going to meet people who you want to talk with.
"It gives online players like myself live experience that they don't usually get. They can still love the game of poker that they know but in a different context of playing live. It gives you then the rail, the social interaction. You can actually have a beer and a chat instead of talking in Twitch chat if you're streaming. I couldn't wait to get down here and I can't wait to try and play as many live events as possible."
