An amateur poker player, Chris Moneymaker accomplished it in 2003, bringing
home a paycheck of two and a half million dollars. Moneymaker found his
way to the $10,000 buy-in of the World Series of Poker by winning an online
poker tournament at online poker site Poker Stars. After winning his seat
on Poker Stars, Chris flew to Las Vegas and settled into playing the majors
at the WSOP, defeating a strong contingent of 838 competitors and successfully
conquering one of the most celebrated pros, Sammy Farha for the championship
victory.
