Unless you've been living under a rock all these years, Chris Moneymaker is one of the pioneers when it comes to online poker and we're thrilled he is ambassador to our favorite online poker room, a proud member of the Gambling911.com family since 2006, ACR Poker.

The All-American Poker Trailblazer

Born in 1975 and hailing from the heartland of Tennessee, Chris Moneymaker stands as a testament to the quintessential American tale of transformation. An accountant by trade with a flair for numbers, Chris turned a casual fascination with online poker into a defining career that would etch his name into eternity.

An Unforeseen Odyssey to Glory

Chris’s dance with destiny began modestly in 2003, when he parlayed a meager $39 online satellite investment into a seat at the most coveted poker table on Earth—the World Series of Poker Main Event. His journey from obscurity to fame wasn’t just a win, it was a seismic shift for poker enthusiasts worldwide.

A Victory for the Everyman

In a stunning battle among 839 entrants, Chris emerged not just as the champion, netting a colossal $2.5 million, but as an emblem of hope—an embodiment of the belief that anyone with determination (and perhaps a sprinkle of luck) could achieve poker stardom.
