ACR Comes Up with Yet Another First

For all of last week the ACR Twitter account was glowing with suggestions of who the new signings were. Chris Moneymaker and Vanessa Kade both joined the team at the start of the year and it looked as if they had enough stars on the roster already.

Nobody expected that Chris Moorman and Katie Lindsay would be arriving, and it confirms just how hard Phil Nagy is pushing to take the site to ever greater heights.

Chris Moorman has been there and seen it all over his career. The 36-year-old Englishman is thought by many to be the greatest online tournament player of all-time. With $19 million in online cashes he has little to prove. $6 million in live tournament winnings is also impressive but we’re sure that he will be working hard at the Rio Convention Center to bring that up to an even more outstanding level.

It is obvious how passionate he is about his career and he sounds thrilled to be helping ACR continue in the direction we are used to seeing.

“I’m passionate about representing Americas Cardroom because they offer players well-structured, large prize pool tournaments at an affordable price point. I really like what they’ve done to establish a strong foothold in the market and want to help them continue to grow.”

It’s important to note that Katie Lindsay is an amazing player in her own right. She has won more than $2 million from online poker tournaments and another $500k from live events.

As a part of her role we can expect her to be showing the world that more women should be playing the game and taking on the guys under equal conditions.

In a recent interview with ACR she said:

“People should be able to do what they want and be supported. I don’t think we need more women in poker, I just think if women want to play, then they should. I started playing poker because I love games and this game especially. I want nothing more from poker than to try and do my best every time I play, and of course, to have a few drinks and make some new friends. I feel like ACR is aligned with that mentality.”
