Chris Moorman Flies the UK Flag at $12M Venom Final Table

Chris Moorman has another major online final table to add to an already packed career.

The Brighton-based Brit has reached the last nine of ACR Poker’s $2,650 NLH Venom, putting his name in the running for a potential $1.2 million top prize when play resumes on September 2. It is Moorman’s first Venom final table, and he returns seventh in chips with 76 million, worth just over 38 big blinds.

The tournament attracted 4,792 entries. That was not enough to cover the $12 million guarantee, but it still leaves one of the biggest online prizes of the year on the table.

For UK poker fans, Moorman reaching a major online final table hardly qualifies as unfamiliar territory.

The English pro built his reputation online under the “Moorman1” screen name and remains one of the most successful internet tournament players ever. The Hendon Mob currently credits him with more than $24.3 million in online earnings, alongside more than $11.7 million in live tournament cashes.

His live résumé has expanded considerably over the years as well. Moorman owns two WSOP bracelets and a WPT title, while recent seasons have produced repeated deep runs in some of the biggest tournaments on the calendar.

The two biggest stacks have already created a substantial gap over the rest of the table.

JGuayaco leads with 485 million chips, more than 242 big blinds, while JasonSpichkin sits second with 326 million. Moorman is seventh with 76 million.

Moorman is not the only ACR Team Pro still involved. Chance Kornuth sits one place above him with 85 million and is simultaneously preparing for the PLO Venom final table.
