Chris Moorman Becomes Newest 888 Poker Pro
Chris Moorman is arguably the greatest online poker player ever. If arguing means I am never wrong, then that statement is true. Moorman is the all-time money leader in online tournaments with an impressive $13.4 million in tournament earnings. His closest competition has yet to reach $10 million. Adding to his already impressive is the $4.1 million in live tournament earnings. A WPT title and a runner u finish in the WSOP Europe main event. There's no denying the man can play poker. He's also one of the more popular ones in the online communities. Using top players is nothing new for online poker sites to promote their brands. Poker Stars has perhaps the most impressive stable of pros eating up most of the big names in poker. Being able to add Moorman to 888 is a huge deal for the brand, and one that should help boost their player base. Being from the UK, Mormons addition to 888 makes sense. 888 Poker is the largest poker room in the UK and has a long standing tradition in the country. He joins Kara Scott and 3 time WSOP bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche as the sites bug name sponsors. Fans of Moorman will note that he has only won about $175,000 of his more than $13 million online at 888. So why the decision to choose 888 as a sponsor many ask. Moorman cites the commitment to the game and their future plans as his reason for joining the 888 team. 888 was one of the sponsors for the 2016 Super High Roller Bowl at the Aria, and a regular supporter of the WSOP. No monetary amount for his partnership has been disclosed; but it has been stated that part of his deal requires him to play and interact with players on the site. He will also be live steaming the majority of his play on Twitch.tv. This is an exciting announcement that should help boost the sites popularity. Right now, Moorman is in Las Vegas beginning his world tour of sponsorship as he plays in the 2016 WSOP. He made his new sponsors proud by cashing in the first event – The Colossus II. With over 60 events left, Moorman is bound to find a final table wearing the 888 Poker patch on his sleeve.
