Obviously not there, but good old "MoormanI" is a huge chip leader. Definitely worth watching if you want to see some world class late stage tournament play from a young pro.

Moorman just busted. 200bb pot all in pre withvs
... If you ever wanted to see some super human preflop aggression, he's the man to look at. Tbf, TT made a huge call considering there is $120k on the line and he started the hand with 100bbs and put it in for his life.

that was thew worst display of spew Ive ever seen in my life. And that was a snap call with TT. Moorman 5bet AIPF 4 times in the 12 hands I saw.
not to mention the cold 4 bet with 66 and then calls the 5 bet shove barely getting 2 to 1

Yeah, it's a snap call with TT if there isn't $120,000 on the line. I'm never snap calling anything but kings and aces at that stage in the game, probably calling with TT+ but I'm definitely thinking about it for a while. We have 100bbs and we're playing a huge chip leader pot for money you and I only dream of. At the end of the day, most players there will play scared money i.e. the dude that 3bet/folded with **** all big blinds. Moorman was getting 500k into a 1.2mill pot with the 66 hand btw. Lots of combos of AK out there and he's probably folding JJ the way he was playing... so imo that's a call especially with Moorman's stack size.
Anyway, the dude thinks levels and levels higher than me or you. That be why he is #5 in the world atm and was #1 last year. (pocketfives). So to say he was spewing was probably more like unlucky timing.

Its only a snap call with the tens bc of the history. Moorman seriosuly 5bet AIPF 4 times in about 12 hands. I know it his style and all and Ive railed him many times, but to 5 bet shove with 6 high when uve 5bet shoved 4 times in 12 hands is stupid. I mean how many times does he expect that guy to 4bet/fold?
I saw him get it AIPF twice in twelve hands for 150-200 BB pots, and he didnt have a card higher than a 6 either time and one of the times he called off. I dont care who you are, thats spew, bigtime.
He shipped the Brawl last week so he probably was feeling invincible.

Yeah, I have a friend who's best mates with him and he is prone to blowing up. But here I think he was just playing with a relentless style. Basically saying, if you want to play a pot with me then you're going to have to put it all on the line and potentially miss your chance at $120k. Did you not see the rail? Everyone was convinced he had QQ+. I'm one of those people that would think he did it light for the first 3 times, but after 3 times he'd of completely double bluff me and I'd be sure he had it (as only a mad man would do it light more than 3 times after showing down). Potentially spewy, in my eyes there was a slim chance that the dude he's been x-betting constantly is going to 4bet fold.

After he called off after cold 4betting with 66, I pretty much thought he was light every time he 5 bet shoved. Its not the first time Ive seen him blow up like that. Id be surprised if he had better than 88 or AJ any of the times.
My friend saw Moorman 5 bet shove AIPF with 68ss in a 10K live event during the second level.

When people know how light you are capable of 4betting, it really does switch absolutely everything. He has to further open his 4/5 bet calling/shoving range if he's going to keep his opening range the same (as his opening range is +ev). There is definitely method in his madness, and obviously some days he'll run into hands that are capable of calling and he'll look like a dunk. Do you know what happened in that 10k live event btw?
Long Time Winner
Yeah he got snapped off by AKo and didnt catch up.
I also think a lot of what he does is for image. I mean if he is ever card racking lategame you can pretty much guarentee he is getting max value in almost every spot.
Also, the pots he is gambling for are huuuuge pots and if he wins then the odds of him taking first skyrocket. and he is the one putting on the pressure so I see the point to his strategy, but he obv gets carried away sometimes. That was evident tonight. At some point you have to realize that he is prob not 4betting light this time since Ive 5 bet him 3 times in 11 hands.
Obv its easy to comment sitting on the sidelines, but that is usually where the best and most unbiased view is.

I was railing for a bit and saw the shove with 64 and given the history that I'd seen railing on and off it seems pretty tough to justify, but look at his profile on pocketfives and his favourite hole cards
