Moorman1's Dad Takes down GUKPT Manchester

[Pates]

The 2009 GUKPT attracted almost 300 players to the G Casino in Manchester. This time the winner was Simon Moorman... the dad of (#1 pocketfives.com player for a period) Chris 'Moorman1' Moorman.

Chris Moorman paid for his dad's seat to the GUKPT as a birthday present. Simon crushed his way through field in only his second live tournament.

Heads-up play was between Moorman and Harri Isomaki from Finland. On the final hand players went all-in, Isomaki had K 8 and Simon A 5. The flop paired up Simon's Ace and gave him the win.

The final results of the event were:

1. Simon Moorman - £88,630
2. Harri Isomaki - £54,380
3. Eddie Lundon - £35,760
4. Kenny Burke - £23,240
5. Andy Booth - £17,280
6. Kevin Holdstock - £14,300
7. David Maudlin - £11,320
8. Ed Roger - £8,340
9. Surinder Sunar - £5,960

Nice birthday present

Nice birthday present

Lol, it's so funny he shipped it. He's the best online poker player in the UK and my friend knows him personally. Apparently he's seriously lazy - I saw him at GUKPT Luton and he turned up well over an hour late (I think on day 2 lol). Really decent guy though apparently which is refreshing for a top poker pro.
