Chris Moneymaker Biography
Chris Moneymaker is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on November 21, 1975 in Tennessee, United States.
Moneymaker was working as an accountant when he won a seat in the Main Event of the 2003 World Series of Poker through an $86 satellite tournament at the PokerStars online poker card room. Although largely unknown prior to the tournament, on day one of the tournament his skills caught the attention of professional sports handicapper Lou Diamond, who called Moneymaker his “dark horse to win the whole tournament.” Moneymaker went on to win the first prize of $2.5 million, instantly garnering poker superstar status. The 2003 WSOP Main Event was his first live poker tournament. One of Moneymaker’s most memorable hands was heads-up against Sam Farha, when on the river he bluffed “all in” with King high. Farha folded a pair of nines, quickly changing the momentum of the match. Moneymaker eventually won the WSOP when his 5 ♦ 4 ♠ beat Farha’s J ♥ 10 ♦ on a board of J ♠ 5 ♠ 4 ♣ 8 ♦ 5 ♥ , giving Moneymaker a full house (5 ♦ 5 ♠ 5 ♥ 4 ♣ 4 ♠ ) to Farha’s two pairs (J ♥ J ♠ 5 ♠ 5 ♥ 10 ♦ ). After winning the WSOP, he quit his job to serve as a celebrity spokesman for Series owner Harrah’s Entertainment as well as PokerStars. He also started his own company, Moneymaker Gaming, and began traveling to play in more numerous and larger buy-in tournaments.
Moneymaker has been married twice. He and his first wife divorced in 2004; in an interview for a 10-year retrospective on the 2003 WSOP Main Event, he said “The main reason was me wanting to be a traveling poker pro. She didn’t sign up for that life. She was married to a stay-at-home accountant who was not traveling the world, gone all the time, and gambling a lot of money. And it was a choice I had to make. I tried to be good, stay at my job, and be that accountant, but in all honesty I didn’t want to.” With his first wife, Moneymaker has a daughter, Ashley, born three months before he won the WSOP Main Event. He married his current wife, Christina Wren, in Las Vegas in April 2005. As of 2017, they reside in Nashville, Tennessee.

Eric Raskin, editor of All In Magazine, compiled an oral history of the 2003 WSOP Main Event, which included input from three dozen top poker personalities who were involved, also titled The “Moneymaker Effect.” As part of Moneymaker’s success, it appears that Moneymaker misremembered the buy-in to the satellite that he won on PokerStars, leading to the error in the title of his autobiography, which refers to winning a $40 satellite, rather than the correct figure of $86.
