Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
There are still plenty of tables with GIANT players in Amazon Gold as well as Pavilion Green.
At one of the far tablesin Amazon 888Poker and 2017 WSOP bracelet winner Chris Moorman is sat next to Victor Ramdin and they are having a sociable time ordering a few alcoholic drinks.
Moorman has got a beer on the go but has just asked a waiter for a gin and tonic.
“We’re going to have a drink a level,” Moorman told PokerNews, “I’m trying to break Firaldo’s record.”
“Firaldo” of course is fellow professional poker player and chief rail cheerleader from England Niall Farrell.
