Although he may be better known as a former blonde poker In The Well-er, Chris 'moorman1' Moorman is also famed for his skills at the tournament felt, so much in fact that he has now been ranked number one in the world by the acclaimed pocketfives leader board.
After an elongated spell in the wrong half of the top ten, Chris has finally proved that he can compete on the same level of the very best the online world has to offer by surpassing the likes of Sorel Mizzi, Isaac Baron, Sean Deeb, Annete Obrestad and co to don his rightful crown as the king of poker.
A tournament pro of several years, Chris Moorman has amazed his peers with his continual prowess online as he continues to take down event after event after event. "He has an incredible ability of knowing when he can push people off hands," said friend and fellow Brighton resident Rod 'Junglecat' Stirzaker. "He plays pretty tight at the start, but loosens up late in the tournament. He plays a big stack really well."
Pocketfives.com highlights Chris' recent form: "Chris Moorman holds the record as a four-time P5's Triple Crown Winner: 6/1/08, 8/17/07, 3/7/08 and 8/3/08. An incredibly consistent player, moorman1 has quietly become one of the most successful players on the internet. He's won several major events, including the Absolute and Full Tilt 1k's and a chop of the Sunday 2nd chance on Stars. He final tabled the Full Tilt $750k Guaranteed in January 2008 for $36,600 but is still awaiting that elusive Sunday Major. He famously used his whole Poker Stars account to buy into the $5k winner takes all and ended up chopping it for a cool $55k."
With the likes of Paul 'Pab' Foltyn, David 'Geeforce' Gent, Gregory 'Gregior' Hunt , Stephen 'The Mole' Boyd and Ben 'milkybarkid' Grundy also shining at the virtual felt, it would appear as though Britain have a host of talented online players to boast of. Let's hope Chris can fend off the challenges of his American foes and maintain his position at the top of the rankings.
