A very happy Chris Moorman was sharing a tender moment with his lovely girlfriend on the rail rather than sat at his seat playing the last level. Mind you, he can afford to as his stack sat at 168,000. PokerNews don't get love get in the way of a good story though and interrupted the embrace to find out some details.
He told us that he got lucky to double to 100,000 a little earlier after his queen-ten cracked an opponent's pocket queens after all the chips went in pre flop.
Joe Cada piped in and said, "He won because he said nice hand before the cards were dealt!"
Cada then said the same unlucky player busted a short while after when his pocket nines lost to an opponent's seven-eight suited. Ouch.
"The rest of it was really good play by me," jested Moorman on how he accrued the rest of his stack.
The board read with a ton of chips already in the middle when Lars Bonding moved all in for 18,500.

Quite the cooler between these two players and Bonding is looking healthy again with right around 65,000 chips.
