WSOP review: First-time bracelets wins for online heroes Moorman & Obst

Two of the games most talented players have earned their first World Series of Poker bracelets after Chris Moorman took down a $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em event, and James Obst did likewise in the $10,000 Razz Championship.

Chris Moorman is arguably one of the most efficient No-Limit Hold’em players to traverse the online and live playgrounds, and he is now a PokerStars Championship away from a Triple Crown after winning his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in Event #27: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed.

It was the first British bracelet of the series and one that arrives after 20 WSOP cashes, four final tables, and two runner-up finishes. Moorman came into the final day fourth in chips, with fellow countryman Max Silver leading the way.

The last time this pair clashed in a WSOP Final Table was in the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event, an event Moorman looked the likely champion before losing out to Elio Fox in heads-up; Silver finished eighth.
