Who is Darvin Moon? - Page 4 - Poker News

Moon is not going to do anything to promote the game. He's just gonna retreat into his country hamlet in Maryland.

Thus far, Moon has been the biggest luckbox of this WSOP and perhaps in main event history, next to Hal Fowler in 1979.

hes going to take care of his parents. whats wrong with that..

and the biggest luckbox. forgeting jamie gold?????????

dude sucked his was to 12 mil.

I hope this guy makes the N9 and takes it all. Seems like a nice guy and I love the fact that he doesn't play online poker. He is so the opposite of some of the young online players who spend 12 hours a day in front of their computer and then brag how they spend the rest of their time partying (drinking / smoking pot) and sleeping.

His hatred for the frontrunning Stealer fans alone has me rooting for this fine human being to crush every soul in his path on his way to winning the Main Event.

Why does the fact that you named his lizard Colby, and put it in parenthesis, make me continue to laugh so hard?

He seems to wear a Saints hat every day, which interests me because I am a Saints fan.

Does anyone know anything about him?, like even a link showing where he's from?

Hes from Garrett county maryland. he lives in the little town of Oakland. Hes a logger and im proud to be friends with him. He and my father, Eric Robison Sr., play poker many times a week.

over/under number of times the press ask him if he's "over the moon" about being in the N9? i set the line at... say... infinity.

seems like just a nice guy too. dont understand the hate. he's like a sedated steve daneman.

Insert redneck interpretation of the letter "w."

Please God let this guy win.

Aren't you down like 9k at SSNL on PTR?

Anyway, I can't hate the guy, he's super nice, and knows he's running hotter than the sun. If Ivey busts, I'm rooting for Moon.

obv an ABC player. ivey and shulman are surely going to 4-bet shove on him all day. prob get this nit to fold Aces preflop when there's 3 all-ins in front of him.
