Chris Moneymaker



Chris Moneymaker was born and raised in Tennessee - he is married with a baby girl. Chris graduated the University of Tennessee with a masters degree in accounting and started playing poker in home games and online in his spare time while working as an accountant. At this point Chris has been playing poker for about four years and claims never to have read a book on poker. Chris Moneymaker is the true "Cinderella story" of poker. He turned a $39 buy-in from an internet satellite tournament into a first place finish at the 2003 WSOP main event, taking home over 2.5 million at the age of 27.

In 2004 Chris came in second in the Bay 101 Shooting Stars tournament taking home about $200,000 and showing the world that 2003 was not a fluke, or that lightning can strike twice, which ever way you look at it. Either way you can't deny the profit margin that this man has in his poker career. Chris is now a traveling spokesman for various poker related products and plays in tournaments when he has time. The thing that Chris Moneymaker proved to the world is that anyone can turn an internet satellite into a major tournament win.
