Chris Moorman won his 1st big live

Last January, PokerCollectif announced you that Chris Moorman was going to publish a book at editions D & B.

For players who do not know Moorman, last September, we learned you that he had exceeded 10 M$ in online tournament winnings, making it one of the best tournament players in the world.

Despite its success online, Moorman was still no big win to his resume on the live circuit. Moorman has rectified the situation last Thursday by winning the World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic 2014 for a gain of 1,015,460$. Include the passage that Patrick Bruel has meanwhile won $ 332,190 by finishing 4th.

In the final heads-up, Moorman has completely dominated his opponent.

As for any tournament, it takes a little luck and Moorman had, particularly during this 3 players all-in while he had only 2.8 M chips against the 2.8 M and les11, 1 M of his opponents.

At the all-in, Moorman won a pot of 7.7 million while its 10 have stood firm against the QdJd of Lafaye and the Rocco A8o on KQJ3A.

Moorman was subsequently grinde his opponent until the end to dominate completely.

On the final hand, Lafaye limp 45o. Moorman raises to 600K with AA and his opponent call. The flop comes D67. Moorman is a continuation of 525K bet and Lafaye pushes all-in for 3. 9M. Moorman call and stands firm. He therefore won the WPT L.A. Poker Classic 2014, its first major title in live.

1.Chris Moorman $ 1.015.460
2.Glenn Lafaye $662.840
3.Michael Rocco $423.440
