He wasn’t as graceful as Kobe, or as naturally gifted as Tiger, but five years ago he changed the face of one of the greatest sports in the world. His name was Chris Moneymaker, and he saddled into the 2003 World Series of Poker as an unknown accountant from Tennessee, and left a champion…and an inspiration to millions of other online players who believed that with just a few buy-ins and a little nerve, they too could wear the WSOP bracelet. Moneymaker kicked off the “Hey, I can do that!” era of poker, and although the online poker boom has come and gone, this attitude still resonates in living rooms and casinos across the county. Chris Moneymaker has brought more people to the table – and kept them there to play more hands, improve their skills, and hone their craft. He’s been good for the game, even if he doesn’t have an athlete’s physique.
