History is Made: moorman1 Hits $10 Million in Online Scores
Holy cow it happened! On Saturday, Chris moorman1Moorman (pictured) became the first PocketFives member ever to reach $10 million in tracked online poker scores. A series of four-figure cashes and a win on PartyPokerwere enough to put him over the edge and he gleaned in a thread on PocketFives, “Thanks for all the support and kind messages along the way. It feels great to finally get there. The last $50k felt so hard. Now, it’s time to get to work on the next $10 million tomorrow!”
He Tweeted proudly to the rest of the world, “Just hit the $10 million landmark with a win in the PartyPoker $215 for $9,500. Morale so high going into WCOOP Main Sunday.”
Moorman is the only player on PocketFives with over $7 million in tracked online MTT scores and now sports our slick new $10 million cash badge, the first one ever given out. Comments from the online poker community poured in on Twitter, including from Kevin kevmathMathers, who wrote, “Congrats to @moorman1 for topping $10,000,000 in online tournament winnings #suchaboss.” Paul badpab2 Foltyn added, “Been grinding all week with the legend @Moorman1 railing in his $10m badge on @pocketfives.”
Moorman is the most successful player in the history of PocketFives, and it’s not even a contest. His 15 online poker Triple Crownsare four more than the next closest player. He has won at least one Triple Crown every year since 2007 and has taken down three in the last seven months. He is $3.2 million ahead of the next closest PocketFiver in terms of cashes – a margin of nearly 50% – and currently resides in the top 10 of the PocketFives Rankings. He was last ranked #1 in late 2011.
Also impressive is Moorman’s prowess offline, where he has $2.9 million in tracked MTT earnings, according to the Hendon Mob. He is #12 on the all-time money list for England and was #11 on the 2011 money list.
According to PokerNews, Moorman is currently camped out in Mexico with Foltyn and was quoted as saying, “I’m glad to make the mark in style with a victory taking me over the line rather than a bunch of min cashes. Hopefully I can make a run at the WCOOP Main Event tomorrow and get myself well on the way to the next $10 million.”
Congrats to Moorman on the ridiculously impressive $10 million cash badge.
