Seat 1: Chris Moorman (955,000)

Chris Moorman from Brighton, England isn't so much know for his live game as he is for his online game. Just recently he won his 11th PocketFives.com Triple Crown while being ranked as one of the best online tournament players in the world. To win the award, a player must win three online tournaments with a prize pool of $10,000 or more across three different online poker sites within a week. Winning a single one is quite a feat in itself and Moorman has scored 11 of them.

In the online realm, Moorman has won over a total of $6.2 million. On Full Tilt Poker, he's won himself over $2.5 million alone. The largest cash he ever recorded online was on Full Tilt Poker when he chopped FTOPS Event #17 in August 2009 for $204,000. The event was a $300 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event with 1,134 players.

On top of that finish, Moorman has landed himself two other six-figures paydays online. He won the Sunday Brawl in March 2010 for $109,620. In April 2009, he finished eighth in the SCOOP $10,300 Main Event for $112,950.

Live, Moorman only has $102,991 in career tournament earnings. Out of his nine cashes on record, seven of them have come in World Series of Poker events. His largest live cash was worth $38,424 and came in the 2010 WSOP Heads-Up Championship.

Although Moorman entered Day 4 with the chip lead, he went into the dinner break as the shortest stack in the room. When the players returned, Moorman landed a couple double up to get back into the game. Those chips didn't last long though as he gave them right back shortly thereafter. Moorman plays an aggressive style and should be firing away early as he is the shortest stack at the final table with 955,000.

Moorman is also a member of the "Brunson 10", a young group of online poker superstars supported by Doyle Brunson himself.
