Team PokerStars Pro - Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker

One of the main players, if not the main player, responsible for the explosion of poker in the last few years, Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 *World Series of Poker main event after qualifying in a satellite tournament on PokerStars. Working as an accountant in Tennessee, Mr. Moneymaker made millions of everyday poker player's thoughts of making it big seem a little more realistic with his amazing performance at the televised final event. If he can turn a small satellite win into the fame and millions that come with being a World Series champion, then anyone has a chance. Congratulations to Chris, and you can watch him at just about any of the largest poker tournaments around the world.

Moneymaker followed up his World Series of Poker championship with a second place finish in the 2004 World Poker Tour Shooting Star tournament. He has also finished in the money in two World Series of Poker events since then as well as the 2004 Mid America Poker Classic and the 2004 Aruba Poker Classic.

Chris is also the personality behind the PokerStars Moneymaker Millionaire tournament, with 2.5 Million in cash and prizes. The finals will be held at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas in late 2006.

Moneymaker has also recently started his own company, and continues to represent Team PokerStars Pro around the world.
