Chris Moorman was born 24 years ago in Brighton, UK, where he still lives today. Moorman first came into contact with poker at the University of Essex, where he, together with a couple of friends, discovered the online freerolls. Chris and his friends where all living in the same house, they all decided to play the freerolls together. The freeroll awarded a ticket for a live tournament, and although Moorman wasn´t able to win the ticket, he did discover his passion for the game.

After winning around $70 in an online freeroll, Chris started to work on building up his bankroll by playing the lowest stakes available. It can be a long and tedious grind from the low stakes to the higher limits, but because Chris was investing so much time into the game, it didn´t take long before he moved up to the $1/$2 and $2/$4 tables. After a while Chris was able to make some good money every month playing the mid-stakes, but that wasn´t where "moorman1" got his satisfaction from.

Once Moorman got into playing tournaments, the young online player became even more fanatic and spent even more time at the virtual tables. Just like many other players, Moorman also read the books by Dan Harrington, but he also stresses the importance of using all this information to create your own playing style rather than just blindly relying on the rules of the book.

According to Moorman, the most important factor for keeping up good performances over a long period of time is the will and the drive to be the best at what you´re doing, and it is this drive that helps Chris to keep on going

A funny story occurred during a Grosvenor UK Poker Tour event in Manchester, when Chris paid the buy-in for his dad, Simon Moorman, only to see his father take down the event. Apart from this only being his dad´s second live event ever, the £88,000 prizemoney was enough for Simon to overtake his son when it comes to biggest cash. Live poker has not been treating Chris very well so far, who has yet to book his first big win in a live tournament. Maybe this year will finally be the big breakthrough for this young, brilliant online player.
