Darvin Moon
Darvin Moon (born October 1, 1963) is an American self-employed logger and amateur poker player who was the runner-up of the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) US$10,000 no-limit Texas hold'em main event. It was his first time playing in the World Series of Poker. Moon, who taught himself how to play poker, ran a small logging company in the Maryland Panhandle before earning a 2009 World Series seat by winning a $130 satellite tournament. Moon earned the chip lead early in the tournament, and eventually entered the final table as the chip leader, with about 30 percent of the chips in play. Although Moon briefly lost the lead, he eventually regained it after eliminating veteran players like Steve Begleiter and Phil Ivey. Moon ultimately lost heads up against Joe Cada, earning Moon US$5.18 million for his second-place finish. Although some criticized his playing style and lack of experience, Moon was also praised for his working stiff personality and self-deprecating manner. Moon participated in the 2010 National Heads-Up Poker Championship, but lost in the second round to Annie Duke. He also competed in the 2010 World Series of Poker main event, but was eliminated on the second day. ==Early life== Darvin Moon lives in the western Maryland town of Oakland,〔 at the foot of Backbone Mountain. Prior to entering the World Series of Poker, Moon lived in a trailer with his wife, Wendy. Moon owns and operates a small logging company with other family members. Most of his days were spent in pine forests scattered throughout the Maryland Panhandle. Moon taught himself how to play poker, and he first started playing with his grandfather at a young age.〔 He started playing frequently around 2006 and studied the game by watching televised poker. Moon regularly played home games at such places as fire departments, Elks Lodges and American Legion buildings.〔
