British poker legend Chris Moorman got so close to a second WSOP bracelet but missed out at the last as he lost heads-up for Event #58, the $5,000-entry No Limit Hold’em event won by Ravid Garbi for $531,513 in the WSOP 2020 Online Series.

With 672 entries in this huge $5,000-entry event, the Israeli player Garbi – who had previously cashed for just under $30,000 – would win his first WSOP bracelet and over a quarter of a million dollars in the process, relegating Moorman to a runner-up finish worth $398,393 instead, but there was plenty of other drama as the action was of a high standard throughout. 

When Kathy Sathaphan was eliminated on the bubble, that meant over 90 players inched into the money, with Daniel Negreanu yet again one of them, the GGPoker pro cashing in 39th place for $14,599. He was joined on the rail by plenty of other big names who made profit but not headlines, such as Brandon Adams, David Peters, Connor Drinan and partypoker pro and Negreanu’s former PokerStars stablemate Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier. 

With the Belgian poker legend Davidi Kitai crashing out in 12th place, play eventually reached the final table of nine, where weary yet exceptionally skilled players were worn down to their true elements. It made for a superb final table which would last a full two hours before its conclusion.
