Christopher Bryan Moneymaker (born November 21, 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American professional poker player who won the main event at the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Moneymaker attended the University of Tennessee and earned a masters degree in accounting. He was working as an accountant in Tennessee when he won a seat into the main event of the 2003 WSOP by spending US$39 to enter a satellite tournament at the PokerStars online poker card room. He went on to win the first prize of $2.5 million, instantly garnering poker superstar status. It was his first live poker tournament.

Now, Chris had more opponents. He had to face down more than 60 other players. What’s more, the potential prize was almost unthinkable. The winner of the big satellite would go to Vegas with a $10,000 buy-in to the World Series of Poker.

Moneymaker can be heard Thursdays on Playboy Radio’s Morning Show on Sirius Satellite Radio.
