Chris Moneymaker
Christopher Bryan Moneymaker (born November 21, 1975, in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American poker player who won the main event at the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP). His 2003 win is said to have "revolutionized poker" because he was the "first person to become a world champion by qualifying" at an online poker site.〔(Pokerlistings.com: About Chris Moneymaker )〕 This has been referred to in the press as the "Moneymaker Effect."〔(PokerNews.com: The Moneymaker Effect: Five Years Later ) May 23, 2008〕
==Personal life==
Moneymaker's ancestors made silver and gold coins and chose the name "Moneymaker" as a modification of their German last name: "Nurmacher."〔(Chris Moneymaker at the German tv show TV Total ) 〕
Moneymaker attended Farragut High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, and later earned a master's degree in accounting from the University of Tennessee.〔
Moneymaker has been married twice. He and his first wife divorced in 2004; as he would say in an interview for a 10-year retrospective on the 2003 WSOP Main Event,The main reason was me wanting to be a traveling poker pro. She didn't sign up for that life. She was married to a stay-at-home accountant who was not traveling the world, gone all the time, and gambling a lot of money. And it was a choice I had to make. I tried to be good, stay at my job, and be that accountant, but in all honesty I didn't want to. With his first wife, Moneymaker "has a daughter, Ashley, born three months before" he won the WSOP main event.〔 He married his current wife, Christina Wren, in Las Vegas in April 2005.〔(About.com: Chris Moneymaker )〕 They currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee.〔
