The World Series of Poker all-time money winners list reads like a virtual who's who of the game. With a mixture of young guns and oldschool veterans, the list also displays the WSOP's explosion in size, as prize pools reached record-breaking levels after Chris Moneymaker's Cinderella championship-event victory in 2003.
Leading the pack are the 2005 and 2004 main-event winners, Joseph Hachem and Greg Raymer, respectively. Back-to-back mainevent champion and 10-time bracelet winner Johnny Chan leads the list of veteran professional players and is followed closely by nine-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth Jr. and seven-time event winner Erik Seidel.
