The man who set it all in motion, Chris Moneymaker, the man many people claim is at least partially responsible for poker's boom over the last six years, is in the money again. On July 27, the affable Tennessean won Event No. 9 at the World Poker Open, a $500 + $50 buy-in pot-limit Omaha tournament at the Gold Strike Casino Resort in Robinsonville, MS.
It's no secret that Moneymaker has struggled since turning the poker world on its ear by coming out of nowhere to win the 2003 World Series of ...

Moneymaker... the Modern Gatsby
pokerplayernewspaper.com 8/25/2009 — Poker is a selfish and lonely pursuit, and played in Las Vegas, a city swamped in moral decay, there's the potential for disaster in the quest for wealth and indulgent pleasures.
