The latest move by Americas Cardroom made a bit of poker history as well. The flagship site of the Winning Poker Network announced that it signed Chris Moorman and Katie Lindsay to its roster of pros.

As the years progressed, she began playing more but never so often as after she married Moorman in 2014. She now shows more than $500K in live tournament earnings but more than $1.5M in online tournament winnings.
