Chris Moneymaker, born in 1975, Atlanta USA. Before he made the great achievement on WSOP 2003. He was an financial controller at a restaurant group. Poker is just one of his interests during his leisure time, though he believes he has some potential being a professional poker player. 

The Summer, in 2003, a poker tournament dramatically changed Chris's life.

Chris won the champion of WSOP, before that, he was just a amateur player even obscure for the whole poker community. 

Accordingly, Chris spent 39USD to register in a satellite tournament of WSOP and won the ticket of WSOP 2003.
Finally, Chris won the bracelet of WSOP 2003 and was the very first person who won the title through online poker site, because of that, PokerStars/FullTilt/Partypoker.. online poker site was getting popular around the world!
The term "Moneymaker Effect" is created describing the online poker booming phenomenon.

"How an Amateur Poker Player Turned $40 into $2.5 Million at the World Series of Poker" is made by Chris, is one of epic books for many online poker players.

----------------------

Chris Moneymaker, 生於1975年美國的亞特蘭大,在取得巨大的撲克成就之前,他只是一位財務人員任職於一個餐飲集團中。而撲克只是他閒暇之餘的娛樂,縱使他認為他擁有很大的撲克天分。

2003年的夏天,Chris的人生因為一個比賽產生了巨大的轉變。
Chris贏得了世界撲克大賽的冠軍。在此之前,他只是一個在職業撲克圈完全默默無名的27歲年輕小伙子。


具考證,其實Chris其實是花了39美元參與了 PokerStars的WSOP門票衛星賽並贏得WSOP的參賽資格(大約價值10000美元)。Chris也是第一位在online撲克站贏得門票並取得WSOP世界大賽冠軍的人。也因如此,Chris造成了一股線上撲克風潮,PokerStars/FullTilt/Partypoker..等的線上撲客站因而受益風行全球。著名的"Moneymaker Effect"一詞就是描述2003年時因Chris而興起的線上撲克風潮而生。

"How an Amateur Poker Player Turned $40 into $2.5 Million at the World Series of Poker"一書描述了他如何在線上撲克上投入40美元取得世界撲克大賽門票,並進而贏得250萬美元的故事。此書也成為鼓勵許多撲克玩家繼續往職業撲克這條路努力的動力。
