Moneymaker was working as an accountant in Tennessee when he won a seat into the main event of the 2003 WSOP by spending $39 to enter a satellite tournament at the Poker-Stars online poker card room. He went on to win the first prize of $2.5 million, instantly garnering poker superstar status.
His most memorable hand came heads-up against Sam Farha, when on the river he bluffed all-in with King high. Farha folded a pair of nines, quickly changing the momentum of the match. Moneymaker eventually won the WSOP when his 5♦ 4¢¼ beat Farha's J¢¾ 10♦ on a board of J¢¼ 5¢¼ 4¢À A¢¼ 5¢¾, giving Moneymaker a full house. Moneymaker has since played on the World Poker Tour, finishing second at the Shooting Stars event, earning $200,000.
After winning the WSOP, he quit his job to serve as a celebrity spokesman for Series owner Harrah's Entertainment as well as PokerStars.
His autobiography, Moneymaker: How an Amateur Poker Player Turned $40 into $2.5 Million at the World Series of Poker was published in March 2005.
