Chris Moorman wins his first live tournament in Madrid

Tuesday, 20 March 2012

Chris “Moorman1” Moorman, inarguably one of the best online tournament players in the world, had until last year failed to make his mark in the live arena. Despite a breakout year in 2011, he still had yet to secure a live tournament win.

That’s changed now after he shipped the €1,000 turbo side event at EPT Madrid, winning €35,000 including bounties. It’s not the biggest score in Moorman’s career, following as it does nearly $8 million in online tournament earnings plus the $2.3 million he won last year for his runner-up finish in the WSOPE and two WSOP final tables, but it is a relief to finally get the live tournament monkey off your back.
