Chris moorman1Moorman, who has over $11 million in online winnings, is the only other player to have passed $7.5 million. Moorman is the most successful PocketFiver you’ll find and has a World Poker Tour titleto boot. The Brit hit $7.5 million in scores three years ago.

Srinivasan has been a member of PocketFives since 2007 and has remained highly competitive throughout the years, winning the Full Tilt PokerT-Rex on July 20 for $17,000. Exactly one month prior, he took down the PokerStars Big $109 for $16,000. Srinivasan has a stellar 158 online tournament wins and 461 top-three finishes.

Srinivasan’s two largest scores came in 2011. One was a victory in the Full Tilt $150 Rebuy for $72,000, a tournament that drew 585 entrants and had a prize pool that nearly hit $300,000. His other score that year was a win in another $150 Rebuy for $65,000, this time defeating nearly 1,000 players.

Srinivasan won the PokerStars Sunday $100 Rebuy in 2012 and 2014 and bagged a win in the $1K Monday in 2010. You’ll find plenty of Cubed and Rebuy titles for the Canadian, who is currently #110 worldwide in the PocketFives Rankings and #14 in his home country.

Speaking of the Rankings, he was ranked as high as #4 on our site three years ago and has nearly 5,000 in the money finishes online.

Srinivasan has generated $536,000 in live tournament scores as well, according to the Hendon Mob, including a $328,000 hit for final tabling the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event in the Bahamas earlier this year. He is #99 on the Canadian all-time money list.

Congrats to s_dot111 on reaching $7.5 million in scores!
