Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Moorman’s stack was well below average with just 15,100 left and he was falling well behind on his one drink per level target. He was desperately looking around for a waiter to attempt to get back on track to chase Niall Farrell’s formidable record, and will be looking to double up soon if he wants to last the full 18 levels.
