Chris Moorman Busts Just Before The Break

Chris Moorman wrote on his Twitter feed this morning that he was heading to the casino in search of his first WPT cash. Well, if he is to achieve that goal he is going to have to re-enter the WPT Merit Cyprus Classic Main Event on Day 1b as he has just busted out.

Moorman opened to 525 from early position only to see Andrei Taranu three-bet to 1,275 from the button in a carbon copy of this hand; only this time there was a completely different ending.

Moorman went into the tank for around 90-seconds before emerging with an all-in bet of 7,025 and he knew he was in trouble when Taranu beat him into the pot with a call.

Moorman: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Taranu: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The British superstar picked up a gutshot straight draw upon the arrival of the {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop but when the turn and river were the {a-Clubs} and {3-Hearts} respectively, it was game over for Moorman. See you tomorrow sir.
