Seat 5: Chris Moorman, 27, from Benfleet, Essex - 1,075,000
British online tournament legend Chris Moorman has won it all online, clocking up more than $9m in tournament winnings. While he’s been no slouch in live tournaments either picking up $2,707,836 in cashes he has yet to pick up a major trophy.
He’s come close with runner-up spots in the EPT Berlin High Roller (€145,200), WSOPE Main Event (€800,000) and WSOP Six-Handed Championship ($716,282). He did finally managed to score a live win at EPT Madrid last season when he took down the €2,000 NL Turbo Bounty for €21,050, - but that first big live title could at last arrive tomorrow.
“It would mean everything to me,” said Moorman. “This is bigger than the Grand Final because it’s in London and all my friends would come down and rail. I’d love to put a show on for them and win it. Coming so close so many times just makes you more and more hungry.”
