Chris ‘moorman1’ Moorman, the most successful player in online tournament history, has signed with 888poker

The most successful online tournament player in history has a new home. On Thursday, 888pokerannounced that it had signed Chris ‘moorman1’ Moorman to be a member of Team888. He’ll play on that site under the user name ‘888moorman‘.

“888 is doing big things and really is working hard to expand their reach in poker,” said Moorman. “Things like sponsoring the WSOP and the Super High Roller Bowl have shown they are committed to their growth of the brand and I can’t wait to see what they have coming up in the future.”

Moorman is the top dog in the online tournament world any way you slice it. He has a record $13.3 million in online tournament winnings and is the only player in history to pass $10 million.

He has 25 PocketFives Triple Crowns dating back to 2007, an award that requires a person to win three $10,000 prize pool tournaments across three sites tracked by PocketFives within a week. That’s also the most of anyone. His most recent Triple Crown came in 2015.

And his peers will now be able to watch him play and interact with one of the game’s greats.

“Now that I am an 888poker Team Pro, I will start streaming some final tables on Twitch,” Moorman said. “I look forward to interacting with players as a representative of the site.”

Moorman joins a stable of pros at 888 that consists of players like Dominik Nitsche, who was signed to Team888 exactly a year ago, and Kara Scott.

“They are all great players and ambassadors of the game,” Moorman said. “Also, they all gave me such a warm welcome to the team and I am excited to represent the site alongside them. Dominik is one of the best players in the world; to have won three bracelets at his age is an incredible achievement. I’ve known Kara for a long time and she does an incredible job presenting and is a great poker player as well.”

“888poker has a good amount of play at the final tables, which is important when there are big money jumps on the line,” said Moorman. “There are a good variety of buy-ins and the field sizes are great as well. I think the player pool appreciates the well-structured tournaments on 888poker. Recently in online poker, the schedules have been infused with turbo tournaments, and most of the tournaments on 888poker are regular speed rather than turbo, which allows you to actually get to play proper poker instead of watching all-ins every five seconds.”

Perhaps the most impressive part about Moorman’s game is his longevity. He has been ranked #1 on PocketFives a record 13 times dating back to 2008. His most recent stint at #1 was two years ago and, 700 days later, he’s currently ranked #14 and knocking on the door of the top 10.

On Valentine’s Day of this year, Moorman took down the 888poker Sunday Challenge for $18,000. It was his second largest tournament score ever on 888, dwarfed only by a win in the same tournament last December for $1,000 more.

Moorman has four six-figure scores to his credit, including a third place finish in the Full Tilt $1K Monday two weeks before Black Friday for $235,000. Two years before that, he won an FTOPS event and put back $204,000, his second largest score to date.

And the hits keep coming. His most recent tournament win came in the PokerStars Big $55 on May 21 for $13,000, the 325th win of his career and 789th top-three finish.

He’s a four-time PocketFives Monthly Leaderboard champion, having accomplished the feat twice in 2009, once in 2013, and once in 2014. He’s the only player to go back-to-back in the Yearly PLB, winning the leaderboard in 2008 and 2009.

Moorman hasn’t been a one-trick live pony either. He’s #8 on the all-time live money list for England, according to the Hendon Mob, at $4.1 million. His breakthrough live win came in the 2014 WPT LA Poker Classic for a little over a million bucks.

It’s only a matter of time before Moorman breaks through on the WSOP stage for his first bracelet, and if it comes this year, it’ll be under the 888poker banner. He has $2.4 million in career WSOP winnings, including runner-up finishes in the 2011 WSOP Europe Main Event and that year’s WSOP No Limit Hold’em Six Max Championship in Las Vegas.

Moorman is a member of the London Royals of the Global Poker League and is fresh off playing one of the first matches ever held in the league’s Cube against the Las Vegas Moneymakers’ Scott Ball.
