Chris Moneymaker is giving poker fans a closer look at life inside the World Series of Poker.
The 2003 WSOP main event champion and ACR Poker Pro has launched a new YouTube vlog series documenting his summer at the summer series in Las Vegas. The vlog takes viewers beyond chip counts and payout sheets, offering a more personal look at the grind, routine, and pressure that comes with playing poker’s biggest annual tournament series.
Watch It Now
The first episodes are already available and includes coverage of Moneymaker’s deep run in the $1,500 badugi, where he earned $7,095 for 12th place. Each update gives viewers a look at his time in the tournament, interactions around the tables, and the off-the-felt moments that rarely show up in standard results coverage.
Viewers can track Moneymaker’s preparation, decision-making, emotional swings, table experiences, and daily routines as he moves through the summer schedule.
Adding To His Legacy
That perspective carries extra weight given Moneymaker’s place in poker history. His 2003 main event victory remains one of the most important moments in the game’s history. After qualifying through a $90 online satellite, the former accountant turned that seat into a $2.5 million championship win and helped spark a poker boom in what’s become known as the “Moneymaker Effect.”
The win changed the trajectory of online poker and brought a new wave of recreational players into the game. More than two decades later, the Poker Hall of Famer remains one of the game’s most recognizable names. The former accountant from Tennessee now has $8.6 million in career earnings, including a Triton Poker Series title, as well as his own live tournament series.
Team ACR
Now representing ACR Poker, Moneymaker continues to compete at the WSOP while also serving as one of the game’s most visible ambassadors. The new vlog series gives fans a chance to see that role in a different way, following both the competitive side of his summer and the day-to-day realities of navigating the WSOP schedule.
The vlog will build toward this year’s WSOP main event, where Moneymaker will once again try to make a run at the title that made him a household name.
