UK online prodigy Chris “Moorman1” Moorman has claimed his first major live tournament title, after taking down the WPT LAPC $10k Main Event for a cool $1,015,460. On his way to victory, the 28 year-old pro bested a huge field of 534 players over six days to lift the prestigious World Poker Tour trophy.
On the last day of action at the Commerce Casino, Moorman entered the final table second in chips (106bb) to Michael Rocco (187 bb), with other players in contention including Patrick Bruel (76 bb), Josh Neufeld (64 bb), Glenn Lafaye (61 bb), and a short-stacked Adam Friedman (38 bb).
After Glenn Lafaye (A-J) dispatched Adam Friedman (4-4) to the rail in 6th ($200,440), Chris Moorman (10-10) did likewise to Josh Neufeld (A-10) in 5th for $264,520. A little while later and Moorman was at it again, this time calling Patrick Bruel’s (Kc-8c) all-in shove on a 2c-8s-Jh flop holding Ac-Jc. The turn and river did nothing to improve Bruel’s hand, who then exited in 4th for $332,190.
Next, Michael Rocco raised his last 2 million all-in holding A-8 only to be called in two spots against Moorman (10-10) and Glenn Lafaye (Qd-Jd). The board subsequently rolled out K-Q-J-3-A to eliminate Michael Rocco in 3rd ($423,440), and usher in the heads-up phase of the tournament with Moorman enjoying a narrow 8.2 million to 7.7 million chip advantage over Lafaye.
After a tough final battle, Moorman was then able to stretch his lead to 5 to 1 before the defining hand was played with Lafaye (5-4) going all-in on a J-7-6 flop. Moorman with pocket aces snap called and with a Q and 5 falling on turn and river, Glenn Lafaye finished the runner-up for $662,840, while Moorman was crowned the LAPC champion 2014. The Brit was also awarded an entry into next month’s $15,400 WPT World Championship in Atlantic City.

With 18 players left standing (well…sitting), everybody is guaranteed at least $54,850. That price tag will double once eight players are knocked out during today’s Day 5. Leading the charge to the final table is Josh Neufeld with 2,326,000 chips.

After Neufeld, the top of the leaderboard is fairly packed. Six other players have over 1,000,000 chips, including Glenn Lafaye, Chris Moorman, Joe Serock, and Michael Rocco, who have stacks ranging from 1,743,000 to 1,410,000. On the flip side, three players – Heath Mendelsohn, Hasan Habib, and Dan O’Brien – all have below 200,000 chips.
This is almost Neufeld’s largest cash of his career. The Californian has just three trips to the money in live tournaments (thanks to TheHendonMob.com for his tournament records), the largest and latest coming in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, where he placed 79th for $88,070. His other two cashes bring his lifetime earnings to just over $100,000.
One of Neufeld’s biggest hands of Day 4 came at the expense of one of the previous day’s headliners, Jennifer Tilly. In the hand, Neufeld raised pre-flop to 26,000 and Tilly called. On the flop of 9♣-6♠-2♥, Neufeld bet 30,000 and then called when Tilly raised to 90,000. The turn was the A♥ and this time Neufeld check-called a 150,000 chip bet from Tilly. Neufeld changed it up on the river, betting 450,000 when the K♥ was dealt. Tilly took some time to ponder her action, but finally decided to call. Neufeld revealed pocket Kings for the lucky rivered set, while Tilly mucked her hand.
Josh Neufeld was already the chip leader before that hand, but that took him up to 2,700,000, more than twice the chips of anyone else in the tournament. Jennifer Tilly was eliminated shortly thereafter.
Perhaps Neufeld’s most significant hand came earlier, though, in a big three-way all-in. He, Kumar Parminder, and Jesse Yaginuma were in a three-bet pot and saw a flop of J♠-5♥-4♠. Yaginuma checked, Parminder bet 125,000, Neufeld called, and then Yaginuma decided to shove for 437,000. Parminder then moved all-in over the top for 519,000. Neufeld put his tournament life at risk, calling for 516,000.
Neufeld had the best hand, holding 5♣-5♠ for middle set. Yaginuma had A♦-J♦ for top pair, while Parminder had A♠-K♠ for the nut flush draw. The turn was the K♥, not really changing much despite pairing Parminder, and the river was the 5♦, which gave Neufeld quads and close to a triple-up. Parminder was crippled and Yaginuma, the chip leader going into the day, was eliminated in 33rd place.
Today the tournament will run until just six players are left, setting up Thursday’s final table at the Commerce Casino.
