It was no easy feat for the Brit, as he needed to see off 491 other players to top the leaderboard. 350 of those players were re-entries, and there was a total prize pot of just over $1.6 million up for grabs for players to compete for. It was a stellar competition in terms of the names that were involved, with players such as Bryan Paris, Niklas Astedt and Daniel Dvoress all missing out on the top nine. Andras Nemeth and Pascal Hartmann also missed out on the top nine places.

It was all about the British player in the event, as he managed to outlast the field to come out on top. It was a hugely competitive event, and Moorman was deserving of the $251,828 cash prize that he received for finishing top of the leaderboard. Moorman was able to see off the competition from Brazilian player Solverjail, who ended up finishing in second place. The Brazilian finished the event with the second highest returns as he claimed $243,769 in prize money.

Every professional poker player has been through the mill once or twice over the career. Even the very best. But it’s not often that a player gets to call on one of the greatest cardsharps of all-time to help them through their troubles.

Chris Moorman was lucky enough to have none other than Doyle Brunson to call upon when he hit his first major bump in the road.

Talking to PocketFives, the Brit gave some insight into the earlier part of his career just as he was becoming a major star in the game.

Tough times

Chris Moorman is one of the best online tournament players of all-time. He’s a guy who has done and seen it all over his career. $16.6 million in total lifetime online earnings with another $6 million from live tournaments is an amazing record.

It wasn’t all plain sailing though.

After being signed to Doyle’s Room in 2009 life must have felt good, but Moorman had no idea how lucky he was to have made Brunson’s acquaintance.
