Has surrinder lost a race all weekend does anyone know? could be he has been working on the karma and to that end could be unstoppable!

GL moorman 2

Gl to Dave Maudlin, Surinder Sunar and Moorman 2

this

gogogogo

One thing for sure Surinder has lost a couple ov races,and he does what many a player cant do,thats think before he acts,
he also plays on how he feels and situations,he also makes more moves than people think.

Good luck for Dave M and Surinder. I'd also like to see Andy and Kenny get a decent pay day.
Well done everyone for geting this far.

GL ed rogers, moorman2 and joey

GO GO GO Moorman's Dad. This tournament has exposed the secret of who really clicks the mouse for Moorman1.

And go JoeyLove, quality player.

Obv. though the winner will be Kenny Burke, who has the best hindsight and will teach these kids a lesson. If I was there, I would dance round the room with him on his victory shouting "LOLinternetpoker." GO GO GO

good luck to every one of them

Gl Dave Maudlin

David Maudlin raises to 35k but immediately becomes disinterested when Eddie Lundon moves in for 245k.

Joey Lovelady pushes from the cutoff and Kevin Holdstock looks like he might call but ends up folding.

Andrew Booth shoves over a Simon Moorman raise and gets it through. No showdowns yet.

Joey Lovelady is down to the virtual felt after pushing Kc Jc and Harri Isomaki calling on all-in behind him with Aspades Td. A Ks 8s Ac 6c 8h board did offer it's share of swings though...

Joey Lovelady is out. He called all-in for the remainder of his short stack with Ts Qd against the midposition shove of Kevin Holdstock who had Aspades 9h. A 5h 4c 9s 6s 8s board and we're down to 11.

have you got a payout structure guys? tyty

It's very much raise, pass, take the blinds here. No-one is really taking advantage and getting really aggressive just yet though.

Andy Booth has just doubled through Surinder Sunar. Sunar's under the gun raise was met by a shove from the big blind. Surinder taking his customary amount of time before eventually calling with 8d 8c, Booth turning over 9h 9c and the board coming down 3d 2c 9s Qs Td.

"Fookin' get in!" shouted a couple of the Scousers from the rail.

Meanwhile Moorman1 is still here, sweating his dad and sneezing non-stop due to hayfever.

"Don't you take anti-histamines?" I asked him.

"No, I just leave the country," he replied.

Someone walk over to the £250 side event and see how pokerfan is getting on, please.

HA HA HA HA  Brilliant :D

Edward Rogers raises preflop and gets called in two spots, by Eddie Lundon and Surinder Sunar.

All three check the 2c 9h 7h flop before Rogers bets 40k on the 5c turn. Sunar calls and Lundon folds. The river is the Ks and Sunar bets 90k. Lundon dwells for ages before calling with 3d 2d. It's good.

Sunar is down to only about 140k

A couple of hands later and Andy Booth raises to 30k on the button and David Maudlin calls. The hand is checked to the river of a Qc Jh Ad 4d 4c board, where Maudlin bet 44k. "We might be chopping..." said Booth as he called. Maudlin showed 4d 3d.

"Maybe not then..."

clue was obv in the bet

wp eddie

gogogogogogogogoggoogo

Check the pack...how many 4 diamonds in there

Karim Jomeen moves all-in from the cut-off. Harri Isomaki thought for ages before moving in from the small blind.

Jomeen: 5c 5d

Isomaki: 7h 7d

6d 4c 2s Js Td

A very disappointed Jomeen is out in 11th place. We're now playing hand for hand.

Edward Rogers is up to about 560k now and looking like the player in charge, makes it 40k and David Maudlin calls in the big blind and checks dark. Rogers checks behind on the 9s 7d 6d flop but fires 50k on the 3s turn. Maudlin instantly folding.

Rogers is in the big blind next hand and Moorman shouts, "Straddle!" to his Dad. Moorman2 has not really been involved so far today and only has about 160k left or so.

sorry to interrupt Floppy, no douby working far happier without this lummox asking idiot questions

p.s that Edward Roger is a dangerous player. Plenty of game.

would it surprise you if i told you he was good friends with jamie brown?  ;D

Moorman2 moved in from the button for about 140k and the blinds had folded. But wait! David Maudlin had already raised preflop to 40k from UTG! And Moorman2 hadn't seen it, and had gone to muck his cards having said, "Oh, I thought it was just me and you Surinder..."

At this moment Chris was pittering around the back of the crowd going mental, looking incredibly anxious and worried.

Despite all this, Maudlin still took a minute or so to call the extra 100k with 8s 8c and Moorman2 showed Kc Tc.

Th 7d Td 6s Jh

A little fist pump and we're still hand for hand.

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

gogoogog moorman2, obv see where chris got the perma run good from....

Double up for Kevin Holdstock through Chi Nguyen, the former reraising all-in against the cutoff raise.

Holdstock: Ac 8c

Nguyen: Qh Ts

5c 9s 6c 9h Tc

Nguyen almost celebrates on the river until he sees the nut flush of Holdstock.

Like Pete Tong, we continue...

GOOOOOOOO MOORMAN2

norrrrrrrrrr gg Joey

COME ON MOORMAN2!

This hand took nearly 10 minutes to play.

Fold to Harri Isomaki in the small blind who thinks for a minute before raising to 48k. Kevin Holdstock then took about 5 minutes before just calling.

Aspades Tc 4h

Isomaki thinks for a minute and bets 55k. Fairly sharpish call.

5c

The Finn takes a minute to check. Check.

3c

Check....and check.

Isomaki flips Qd Ts, Holdstock shows Ahrt 8h, surely missing a bet on the river...


Moorman2 just pushed from the small blind on to Andy Booth. But he didn't just declare it, instead he just shoved all his chips in the middle meaning he's had to spend the next five minutes stacking them back up again... :D

Chi Nguyen, Andy Booth and Surinder Sunar are the three shortest stacks left, all with less than 10BB's.

Players are now on a short break. We're still waiting for one more player to go. Sigh.

Chip Counts:

Ed Roger - 779,000
David Maudlin - 452,000
Eddie Lundon - 409,000
Kevin Holdstock - 367,000
Simon Moorman - 265,000
Harri Isomaki - 207,000
Kenny Burke - 203,000
Andy Booth - 113,000
Kenny Nguyen - 102,000
Surinder Sunar - 97,000

Blondeite "Pokerfan" has made the final of the £250 here in Manchester also.

[  ] Tikay and Michelle Orpe sure aren't talking non-stop next to me.

Moorman2 after shoving and then having to restack his chips.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26238&g2_serialNumber=1)

We're off once more. Andy Booth shoving UTG and getting no callers and Harri Isomaki doing the same in the small blind on the other table to win the blinds. Something has to give soon.

Simon Moorman moves all-in from the cutoff. Surinder Sunar takes a minute or so but calls all-in from the small blind. Maudlin gets out of the way in the big blind.

Neither wants to show their cards. Finally Moorman shows 2c 2h and Sunar turns over Tc Th

3d 8c 4d Kd Ad

Sunar back over 200k. Moorman down to about 140k.

classic sunar nitroll

Raise to 56k from Eddie Lundon on the button. Harri Isomaki moves all-in. Two minutes of thinking and call.

Lundon: Ad Ts
Isomaki: Ahrt Ks

9h Td 4h 7h 3h

Isomaki pats his heart as he doubles up catching the flush on the river for that huge pot. The Finn won his seat through a Norwegian site and this is his first ever live tournament and now he's 3rd in chips.

get it won my 20%!!! ;)

Hmmm.

Surinder Sunar raises it up and Simon Moorman pushes for about 58k on top. Surinder eventually makes the call.

Sunar: Erm...Jc 3s
Moorman: Errr...Td 6c

7c 9h 8s 8d Qs

Moorman2 doubles up again.

Chris, "I was worried he was going to fold to the final so I said 'Go with anything good'..."

[X] Moorman2 runs goooood

He's just busted out with T-T vs 7-7.

fyp

And Chi Nguyen goes out in 10th place. He pushed his short stack in with Td 4d and was autocalled by Kevin Holdstock's 9c 3h.

9d 5h 5d 7s 4c

Final time.

FML GG though..Very impressive seeing as he only came back with 4.5 BBs

goggoogogogogo moorman2. pretty sick that moorman 2 is gna have a bigger live cash than moorman1......

+ a few more ludders and hes in the "bigger live cash than flushy" facebook group

He's got a pretty good teacher!

Go Maudlin, Sunar and Moorman2!!!

any sign of alex martin there today or sir donksalot??????????? 7d 2s

Seating Plan For Final:

Eddie Lundon -- 223k
Andy Booth -- 152k
Harri Isomaki -- 462k
Surinder Sunar -- 130k
Kenny Burke -- 201k
Edward Rogers -- 807k
David Maudlin -- 360k
Kevin Holdstock -- 405k
Simon Moorman -- 248k

To be honest, I think this tournament is Edward Rogers' to lose.

1st -- £88,630
2nd -- £54,380
3rd -- £35,760
4th -- £23,240
5th -- £17,280
6th -- £14,300
7th -- £11,320
8th -- £8,340
9th -- £5,960

Great update guys thanks!!!!

Blinds btw, will start at 10k/20k....

Weee, short final.

And we're off. Photos of the finalists to follow...

Simon Moorman takes the first hand with a raise.

"Show the two!" shouts Chris.

Who are minted poker ? is it a new company ? well whoever they are its good to see a company supporting grass roots poker and not just a tv event.

is CHris 12 tabling on a lappie whilst railing?

Is it a double save for The Moorman's or does Chris usually win it all on Sunday's too?

I asked about this and Moorman said, "When running bad online, you should play live because then you lose less online."

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40419.0

Exactly why I'm playing live tonight. :D

Simon Moorman raises to 55k UTG and takes the blinds.

Andy Booth shoves the next two hands and receives no callers. The second time he shows a pair of Tens.

Eddie Lundon moves in from the small blind. Andy Booth folds the big blind. With the stacks as they are, it's amazing we've not had a showdown yet.

Good luck to Surinder. He gets a lot of flak, but he's achieved quite a lot over the years.

Is it true that Moorman bought his dad in to this as a Birthday Pressie ?

That's what I heard.

Question is, will he want it back and 50% of the winnings?:)

its true, bought him in 20 mins before the start on fri

It's Moorman 2's second ever live comp

Andy Booth moves in from the button and get's it through. Everyone is very tight. Ed Rogers will probably exploit this situation non-stop while there are so many 5 - 10 BB stacks.

gl moorman snr,  show chris the way

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it true that Moorman bought his dad in to this as a Birthday Pressie ?

Hi, I'm Chris Moorman's sister and Simon Moorman's daughter and yes that is true about that Chris bought our dad into this comp 4 his birthday

Surinder Sunar moves in for 38k. Reraise to 100k from Dave Maudlin. Everyone else scampers for cover.

Sunar: Qh Td
Maudlin: Ahrt Qd

2h Ad 3h Jd Ks

A rivered straight doubles Sunar's paltry stack up. We're still 9 handed.

;welcome; to blonde

and gogogo moorman2

Geo

I doubt he wants any %, I'm sure he wouldn't mind the buy-in back though. ;) He's sweated his Dad non-stop since he busted out. He's looked more nervous than anyone else in the cardroom. Certainly more than his dad!

Word on street is 50% standard staking deal

I'd put some photos up but they're uploading incredibly slow. I'm still waiting for the potrait shots from an hour ago to go up. :(

Welcome to the forum Fliss. Please tell us you don't play poker as well!?

Lol no no. the talent and luck is stirctly confined to the moorman men unfortunately!

Moorman3 ftw!

marry me?

Welcome to Blonde Miss Moorman!

So, when's your birthday?

lol

Welcome Moorman3!

P.S. Please don't start playing poker.

Surinder Sunar moves alll-in from the small blind. Kenny Burke calls.

Sunar: 8d 5h
Burke: Ks Tc

8c 7h Th 4c Jd

Sunar is still in. But only just...

September 6th I will be 21

Guys I think your picture for Kenny Burke is someone else entirely?

the blondepedia image is yes. That's Ken Broad.

this guy being touted as obnoxious, rude, load and a con artist is your mate stu? im doubtful, put me right pls

Kenny Burke moved over the top of an Andy Booth raise. With Surinder down to just 1BB. People are very wary of sticking it in without a hand.

Eddie Lundon bets 52k on the turn of a Qd 7s 8d 4s board and Kevin Holdstock makes the call. Both check the dangerous 6d of the river. Lundon shows 9c 6s but Holdstock takes the pot with Ahrt 7d.

We're now on a 1 hour dinner break, amazing with all 9 players still in. They're going to depart very quickly after dinner though, I'd reckon. And yes, my photos are STILL downloading. :(

See you at 7.30pm.

Chris just said she's played a little at uni and isn't too bad...

Fliss moorman is hot hot hot!!!

Can you pass on a message for me plz floppy.

Congratulate Chris on being world number 3 for me please!

had a run in with this guy at dtd last night what a total w*****

Floppy? I would but I don't think he will be that thrilled by your congratulations for the bronze medal. My brother is only happy with being the best! Exteremely competetitive! As as for me being not too bad I think thats a bit of a stretch! I think I am rubbish - I think Chris just wants to make playing poker the family business to be honest!

Yeh but he was donating at the cash table!!! Even I was winning money off him

i left the game couldnt be doing with it but he was barred later on in the evening so he wont be donating again,lol

I heard :(

Floppy is the updater.

I am pretty sure Chris will be over the moon to be in the same company as Deeb and Gboro, however thanks Fliss for the idea of a medal, will deffo have to present Chris with a bronze medal!

How did he cope with no roulette table in the place? :)

Players are about to restart with blinds 12k/24k

Andy Booth moves all-in from the button and Surinder Sunar can't bring himself to fold for the last 3k.

Booth: Ad Jc

Surinder peels....: Tc 3d

7h 9h Jh Ahrt 7s

Surinder Sunar is out in 9th place winning £5,960

Simon Moorman moves all-in for 288,000. Ed Rogers asks for a count in the big blind and then calls...

Moorman: Qh Qs
Rogers: 9h 9d

3s Qd Jd 9c 6s

Huge double for Moorman2, who is now the chip leader.

GOOOOO MOORMAN2. Ship it one time

And it's all gone wrong for Edward Rogers.

Kenny Burke raises from the small blind and Rogers pushes. Eventually Burke calls.

Burke: Aspades 3s
Rogers: Ac Qs

5c 8s 2s 4d Ahrt

Burke goes absolutely mental as Rogers just walks off. The rail chant "Kenny, Kenny..." as he screams with delight.

Edward Rogers is out in 8th place winning £8,340. No doubt absolutely gutted.

the call of the re-raise was for most of his stack? allowing for the Roger loss v Moorman2?

Rollercoasterments.

Harri Isomaki raises the cutoff and David Maudlin shoves the big blind. Dwell and eventually a call.

Isomaki: Ac Jh
Maudlin: 7h 7d

3h Kd 6c Ks Aspades

Maudlin rolls his eyes at the Barry Greenstein special while Isomaki allows himself a quiet fist pump compared to Burke's over the top celebrations just a minute ago. We're now down to 6 players.

David Maudlin is out in 7th place winning £11,320

sick river, £8k up top. wouldve gone 2nd in chips there fml.

Andy Booth shoves UTG and everyone folds.

Next hand it's passed to Kevin Holdstock who almost tries to make it 44k, but minraises to 48k. Simon Moorman moves all-in. Everyone folds super-fast, including Kevin.

Simon Moorman raises to 60k and takes the blinds and antes.

kenny is still in prison r u sure u played him lastnight?

This is just an amazing achievement already by Moorman sr in a first live tourney

To pinch a phrase, gl sir

deffo him check on dtd and see for yourself hes on the list of runners from last nights £50 comp

Poor old mark tomblin aka strip club mark having his photo labelled on blondepidia as this kenny burke guy! Mark is a nice guy.

Harri Isomaki raises to 62k in the small blind and Kenny Burke calls.

Ahrt Kh 2s

Isomaki thinks for a minute and checks. Burke immediately moves in for 418k, a massive overbet. Isomaki thinks for a minute then asks for a count. At this point one of the AWOP guys says, "You know the Finnish guy has an ace right?"

Somehow after the clock gets called, Isomaki folds his ace which he raised, hit top pair with and then check/folded on the flop. Clearly the amount of money in play is affecting this freeroller.

where is tighty today im missing his witty banter. gr8 job as always go moooooooormaaaaaaan Jh Js

Raise from Kevin Holdstock to 61k on the button. Simon Moorman makes it 177k from the small blind. Holdstock folds leaving himself with just 10BB's.

The slacker went home. ;)

Hi Pip, family stuff I was committed to at home today. Leaving the Pro updater to it!

ok tighty. who is pip?????

You

Phillip.

I'll get my coat.

 Ahrt Aspades very good tighty keepit real

Andy Booth moves in from the cutoff. Kenny Burke thinks for a minute and asks for a count. It's 220k. He calls.

Booth: Aspades Ac
Burke: Jh Js

The Scousers go mental...

5h 6s Kh 4h...(they get worried)...5s

The Scousers go mental once more. High-fiving each other once more. And then a not too helpful, "Bad luck Kenny."

We continue...

Have they killed Kenny?  ;marks;

Andy Booth bets 45k on a Ks Th 8c board and Harri Isomaki makes it 120k from the big blind. It's enough to win that pot.

Harri Isomaki raises to 75k and wins the blinds.

Simon Moorman gets a walk.

Eddie Lundon gets a walk and shows Kings.

Simon Moorman raises to 90k on the button and wins the blinds.

Andy Booth shoves all-in for 400k and wins the blinds.

Chip Counts (approx)

Eddie Lundon -- 430k
Andy Booth -- 700k
Harri Isomaki -- 320k
Kenny Burke -- 375k
Simon Moorman -- 1.25 million

Kenny Burke just pushed from the button. Simon Moorman gave it a good 3 minutes before folding, he is though, the most active player now. Isomaki, Lundon and Burke seem to be playing to ladder.

It's still very tight here. Katie the dealer has let me down on her promise to cold-deck everyone.

Kevin Holdstock just before his exit with Simon Moorman.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26264&g2_serialNumber=1)

Players now on a 10 minute break.

Extraordinary. Last hand before the break.

Harri Isomaki raises to 105k with 260k behind. Eddie Lundon moves all-in after a five minute dwell. It's back on Isomaki, and he's dwelling but how can he fold now? He looks pained but after two minutes he makes the call.

With err...Js Jh

Lundon had set him in with 4c 4h

6s 6h Th 8h Aspades

Lundon is down to the felt. But that was such an odd hand that it took Isomaki so long to call when Harri was obviously committed.

At this moment the only Harri I'm committed to is Hari Kiri.

Really on the break now.

Had the pleasure of sitting next to Moorman2 for 60 mins around Level 6-7 on Day 1B.
We shared a coke as we forgot to order a drink and took one of the free drinks brought back by the valet to a departed seat.

We had a good chat , he often rails Chris when playing online. Even though this is Moorman2's first big tournament he is no muppet and played some hands very well indeed.

GL - Do one for the over 40's.

Well played David, at work and did not realise until it was too late that you had finaled. xx

David is also a Blonde aka Tiger37

Eddie Lundon -- 248k
Andy Booth -- 502k
Harri Isomaki -- 721k
Kenny Burke -- 381k
Simon Moorman -- 1.135 million

Get there Moorman's dad!!! What a ledge!!

They tried to deal that would work out as follows:

Simon Moorman -- £60,000
Harri Isomaki -- £40,000
Andy Booth -- £35,000
Eddie Lundon -- £30,000
Kenny Burke -- £30,000

Surprisingly though it was the Finn who wanted more and not Booth, who seemed to have given a good deal to the short stacks. It hasn't been agreed though yet...

Ok deal done.

Simon Moorman -- £59,000
Harri Isomaki -- £47,000

And they're playing for £18,290 according to Jon Raab.

wp moorman2

Simon Moorman raises to 85k on the button. Andy Booth calls from the big blind.

Ahrt Qc 2c

Check check.

7c

Andy Booth bets 40k. Moorman folds, though a bet on the flop or a shove on the turn might have won him the pot.

wooohooo - wp Moorman2...

absolute legend, wp moorman2

Kenny Burke folds. Moorman moves in from second position. Eddie Lundon calls all-in. Andy Booth folds and Harri Isomaki makes a customary dwell/fold.

Moorman (Sr): 6s 6c
Lundon: 7h 7d

Th 5h 2c Jc Ac

Simon Moorman takes a small hit. Eddie Lundon up to about 500k.

ORLY?

The £59K+£18,290 still beats Moorman1`s biggest ever cash! gogogo Moorman2!!!!!!!!!

Sadly despite the high blinds, short stacks and the deal done, players (other than Moorman2 it has to be said) are playing very tight at the moment.

WP Moorman2 - great result from a very entertaining player by the sounds of things.

Great updates as always.

And as I say that.

Andy Booth raises to 120k, Eddie Lundon moves all-in for about 300k more. Booth folds leaving himself with about 450k behind.

WD Moorman2. One of the better birthday presents he will have ever received.
Nice change from socks and pants.

The deal has eased their pain, 5 handed is too early imo. Moorman2 was dominating when they were still bricking it.

What a great read, Moomin Sr crushed the tourney. epic just epic

Limped pot between Eddie Lundon and Andy Booth.

Ahrt Td Qc

Eddie checks. Andy obliges with a bet of 60k. Instafold.

Eddie Lundon shoves the cutoff. Kenny Burke is in agony in the big blind, but folds. Lundon shows him 8-8. Burke says he passed 4-4.

Raise from Harri Isomaki to 100k. Moomin Sr moves in. Everyone folds.

Moorman Sr raises again. Eddie Lundon moves all-in. Andy Booth thinks for ages and then moves all-in as well.

Isomaki folds and Moorman Sr does too.

Lundon: Ad Kh
Booth: Ac Jd

4c Tc 2s 6c 3s

Andy Booth is out in 5th place winning £35,000

And straight away Kenny Burke moves all-in from the small blind and Simon Moorman gives him a spin in the big.

Burke: 9c 9d
Moorman: Jc 9h

5h 6s Ks Ts Jd

Some supreme super standard Moorman binkage there results in Kenny Burke going out in 4th place winning £30,000.

Simon Moorman raises the next hand and takes it down with a bet on the flop against Eddie Lundon.

Lundon limps on the button and we see a rare 3-way pot where Lundon takes it down on the 9d 5c 4d flop.

Rough counts?

Harri Isomaki folds to a 50k bet on a Qc Js 9h board from Simon Moorman. He's down to just about 400k. Moorman and Lundon have about 1.3 million each.

Minraise from Simon Moorman to 80k. Eddie Lundon and Harri Isomaki both call.

Td 7h 5d

The blinds check, Moorman counts out a big stack of blues worth about 200k and then tells the dealer he's all-in. Chris' face is an absolute picture. Lundon quickly folds and then so does Isomaki.

Limped pot between with Lundon and Isomaki.

Moorman bets 150k. Lundon moves all-in. Snap-call.

Moorman: Kd Ks
Lundon: 5h 4d

Chris Moorman's hands are on his head.

5c

"Oooh," says a nervous Chris.

7c

Not enough for Eddie Lundon who is out in 3rd place winning £30,000.

Simon Moorman -- 2.5 million
Harri Isomaki -- 500k.

Jon Raab gives Chris Moorman a rubdown, "Can Simon become the first Moorman to win a GUKPT...?"

Great stuff this ... would be so amazing for papa Moomin.

Players are now HU.

The first two hands are walks, then they've taken in turns to move in on each other.

Simon moves in again. Call!

Moorman: Ad 5h
Isomaki: Ahrt 4d

2d 4h Qh 6h Kh

Isomaki doubles up to about 1.07 million, Simon with the rest. We're going to be here a little longer yet...

Raise from Isomaki to 125k. Call from Simon Moorman.

Js Ac Kc

Moorman bets 125k, "Sigh," says Chris, "He's bluffing." Isomaki folds.

The total number of live tournaments played by these two players is three, including this one, says Jon Raab.

Simon Moorman raises to 160k. Harri Isomaki moves all-in. Moorman quickly calls.

Moorman: Aspades 5s
Isomaki: Kd 8c

Th Tc Ahrt 6s 9s

which means Harri Isomaki finishes in 2nd place winning £47,000

AND...

Great result Simon! VWP and Congrats!!

fairytales do come true in poker!

I just want to say how proud I am of my dad for completely amazing me and actually winning this tourny! Always when he has been talking about poker I thought that he was somewhat talking out of his arse however he has definitely proved me wrong!!! I feel like I am having some crazy dream at the moment because I never in a million years thought he would actually get in the money let alone win this thing!! Well what can I say, its definitely put the birthday present I bought him to shame!!

Final Hand:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26266&g2_serialNumber=1)

Still waiting for the rest of the photos to upload but, in the meantime Simon Moorman talked to Jon Raab about how it came about that Chris bought him in, how he is never going to be as good as his son at poker and how he just didn't want to let Chris down and go out in the first half hour.

Chris, meanwhile, is in a mixture of shock and absolute delight right now.

Chris, "Fucks sake, I'm gonna have to win the WSOP Main Event now..."

just excellent, wp that man.

Once again, thanks for the excellent updates

Isnt that the 1 from earlier?

pls can moor be know as this from now on, kthx:

Chris 'Moorman1' Moorman, son of GUKPT champion Simon Moorman.

LOL

vwp Moorman2, congrats

Oops the other one hasn't loaded. sigh.

Why can't you do this Dad?

Hahaha absolutely fantastic. Couldn't have written a better story!

I'd love to hear the conversation in the car on the way home....

Moorman2: See son, that's how you do it.

Moorman1: *Sigh* Well done dad.

Moorman2: Oh yeah, thanks for the birthday present son.

Moorman1: [  ] You're welcome dad.

Indeed. I've just got home from railing after my early bust out tonight. Simon looked like he belonged at the table, very very calm and composed, and basically owned the table. Absolutely fantastic performance from him!!

That's everything, see you all at the next update....

;stickaforkinme;

Pics ok here Flopps ... great updates wp to you and Tighty.

I bloody well doubt my student loan will be paid off!! I just really really cannot believe it!!!! I don't know how i am actually going to sleep!!

Btw thanks for all of the proposals and stuff but I am only 20 and really don't wanna get married quite yet thanks!! And don't expect to see me playing poker in comps and tournys ever because I am not a good player! There is no Moorman3 to follow in the footsteps I am afraid!

great updates as usual, thank guys!

Lol. Definitely the shock of the year. Well played Mr Moorman sir.

Well I am defintiely shocked and I am his daughter!

Fliss

watched him pretty much all the way on the final table, he was brilliant :)

I am very proud of him Yeh I know he was playing really well all the way through but you never expect any member of your family to do that well let alone your dad who hasn't got the most poker experience in the world! It is pretty awesome to be honest to now have two poker players in the Moorman family, I just wish I had some of the talent as well!

Chris did mention that you weren't bad ;)

He was an abs nervous wreck the entire way, whereas your dad basically enjoyed himself and chilled out!

Darn, was called out on duty and missed the climax. Well done Mr M Senior. Well done updaters.

Must go down as one of the best Father Son poker stories.
Thanks for the updates Flops and Tighty.

 

Chris just wants another poker player in the family. to be honest there definitely needs to be more women in the game but I am not the woman for it! Chris said to me on the phone that he was like a hundred times more nervous watching our dad than actually playing himself! I can see that a lot of poker mags will go for the father son angle on the story.

soooooooo fkin sick. The picture of the two Moormans is A+. Chris looks so proud of his old man and usually its the the other way round. Great story, congrats

Chris Moorman, inside the top 3 in the world, and inside the top 2 in the Moorman family.

What a story, just unbelievable, and it's great that they're obviously do proud of eachother.

Great updates guys, thankyou.

Nice updates Chris, thanks!

WP to everyone who cashed!

Doesn't stop Chris trying.....

Love it.

Well done Moorman2!!!

Massive congrats to moorman2, couldnt make it up!

Chris will obviously be over the moon for his dad but will not be looking forward to the 10 weeks of abuse we are gonna give him in vegas for his dad outdoing his whole live poker career at his first attempt, justice imo!

Congrats again moormans!!!

thx for updates

Just amazing, best update ever!
Congrats Mr Moorman.

Congrats Moorman Sr ;applause; ;applause;

Top updates, quality result lol!

VWD Moorman2!!!

Nice to see there's at least one decent player in the family.. You need skillz to win a live tourney, unlike this online "If I play 100 a day I might luckbox my way to a win every now and again" malarky.

 ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; WP Sir have a great birthday now!!!

Dad winning it and the lot above ^^^ = morning made!   rotflmfao rotflmfao ;applause; ;hattip; ;applause; ;hattip;

What an amazing result.

WP to Mr Moorman Snr.

Great updates all weekend - well played Floppy and Mr End.

great stuff. What a result!

http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/25899

nice rubdown of young Mr Moorman.

[X]Could have been harsher though.

Congrats moorman2
perhaps moorman1 should get plenty of earplugs for vegas, or leave the live stuff to the oldies!!!

Cracking updates guys!!

WP Mr Moorman!! Awesome story!!

Congrats to Moormans Dad, didn't play with him much but looks like he dominated the final table!  Will he be defending his crown in Newcastle?

Do you think Moorman2 will buy Moorman1 into WCOOP ME for his bday?

pure hilarity!
wp sir!!

Just a quick thank you to everyone for all their messages of support over the last three days. when Chris phoned me last week to say he was buying me in a live tournament i was somewhat apprehensive to say the least but the old Moorman wtf spirit came through. I was nervous for the first 30 minutes of each day but then settled down to enjoy the experience. i have met a lot of great people over the weekend and i know it will only be a matter of time before Chris wins a major event.
P.S if anyone wants to marry my daughter then 5k cash will seal the deal

blonde transfer or Stars?

Seriously though well played and welcome to the forum.

Welcome and Very Well played. BTW Watched you for a while from the rail there in Manchester, have to say you looked both very comfortable and confident in your surroundings.

Dad you are selling me off WAY too cheaply!

Oi, keep out of this.

lol @ "the old Moorman wtf spirit"

the entire Moorman household speaks in kidz-internetz-lingo :)

Nice one Simon.

Your splendid interview, including a cameo appearance by Chris, will be on In-Poker, first airing on Thursday at 8.30, then most nights for a week. No rubdowns in it, naturally.

Looking forward to hearing the interviews!!

$4k and a tilt bathrobe

Hi Tikay
