chris moneymaker

Christopher Bryan Moneymaker (born 1976 in Tennessee) is a professional poker player. Moneymaker attended the University of Tennessee and earned a masters degree in accounting. He first began playing poker in 2000 after seeing the movie Rounders. Moneymaker won his seat into the main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker by spending $39 to enter a satellite tournament at the PokerStars online poker card room. He went on to win the first prize of $2.5 million. It was his first live poker tournament. He has since played on the World Poker Tour, finishing second at the Shooting Stars event, earning $200,000. After winning the WSOP, he quit his job to serve as a celebrity spokesman for Series' owner Harrah's as well as PokerStars. He also began traveling to play in more larger buy-in tournaments. His main goal is to provide for his family, so although he quit his job, he does envision going back to mainstream work eventually.
