2nd | Chris Moorman | 88,300,000 | 6 |

LuckyChewy Chomps His way to the Chip Lead

Day six was a relatively short session and once it got down to the (unofficial) final table of nine players, it took just half an hour for the last three eliminations of the day. It was a day dominated by one player, Andrew Lichtenberger, as he accounted for several of the exits and ended up as the runaway chip leader. The LearnWPT pro goes into the final with almost twice as much as second placed Chris Moorman, who also dispatched a few players on the penultimate day of play.
There was no joy for overnight chip leader Ben Jacobs, who went into the final nine with a short stack and he was taken out by Lichtenberger in 9th place. He was left short not long before this after losing another pot to “LuckyChewy”, who had made quad kings on the televised feature table. The new chip leader also accounted for the exits of John Richards (10th) and Mark Mounsey (8th).
Moorman Busts Chilaud

Maxime Chilaud, who commanded the second largest stack going into the day, capitulated in 11th place, when his A♠10♣ was bettered by ACR sponored pro Chris Moorman’s A♣A♦. They got it in on a 10♥ 2♥5♣9♠ board and the Frenchman was eliminated when he failed to hit a further ten on the river. Play was brought to a close when Moorman’s 10♦9♦made a straight against Carl Shaw’s A♦K♦, boosting the UK player’s stack by over 20m and setting himself up nicely for a tilt at the top prize.

It’s a very experienced final table, all players already had over a million in lifetime winnings from live tournament poker. With the exception of American Daniel Sepiol, they have all won at least one WSOP bracelet. If Sepiol finishes in 5th place or better he will exceed his combined lifetime earnings in this event alone.

Chris Moorman, in second place overnight is the only remaining WPT main event champion, however chip leader Andrew Lichtenberger has won a high stakes WPT Alpha8 event. The online tournament legend, who’s father Simon Moorman is a GUKPT champion brought his pet dog “London” to the tournament yesterday as a lucky mascot.
Moorman is one of two British players left in, the other being high stakes pro Ben Heath, who has the highest lifetime earnings of the surviving players and two WSOP bracelets to his name.
