Chris Moneymaker is one of the most well-known ambassadors in the world of professional poker. In 2003, Chris won the Main Event of The World Series of Poker (WSOP). His win was so inspirational, and exceptional, that he is often regarded as the player who helped professional poker grow into the worldwide phenomenon that it is today. Chris is from Nashville, Tennessee, and at the time of his win he had worked as an accountant and a part time restaurant employee. He was a college graduate with a tax degree, and Chris decided to try his luck in an $86 online poker satellite tournament to earn a seat in the Main Event at the WSOP. He won that $10,000 entry seat and what happened next was Poker history in the making. Chris went on to win the Main Event and in the 20 years since has found continued success in poker, inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2019.
