No person in poker is more emblematic of an “everyman” than Chris Moneymaker, the gregarious former accountant that parlayed an $86 buy-in to an online poker tournament into a World Series of Poker Main Event championship in 2003, the reverberations of which continue to shape the world of poker to this day.
Having largely contributed to the explosion in popularity of the game of poker around the world (commonly referred to as the Moneymaker Effect), Chris Moneymaker continues to have an impact on the game he loves as a brand ambassador for PokerStars, the world’s largest online poker company.
