Americans, gamblers in particular, love to invest (or bet) a little to win a lot. And when it comes to poker, since the beginning of major tournaments players have fantasized about peeling off a couple of twenties and winding up with millions and the adoration of the world. It's a lofty goal but Chris Moneymaker lived the dream, winning the 2003 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, and inadvertently changing the perception of the game for millions more--nationally and internationally. Now, two years later comes a well-crafted, colorful, entertaining work about the player, the game and the event, titled Moneymaker (How An Amateur Poker Player Turned $40 Into $2.5 Million At The World Series of Poker). Moneymaker's book has an honest tone to it. He wasn't some straight guy from the Tennessee sticks suddenly discovering gambling, poker in particular and getting lucky at it like in some Hollywood movie. He'd bet sports, 21, delved into online poker but liked the live games more. He liked the action. His observations, fears, how he built confidence, was awed by poker's biggest names and legends and how he got to the biggest game of them all make for a good portion of this book.What Moneymaker experienced may help future hopefuls in the World Series of Poker or any other major tournament. 240 pages, paperbound, July 2006.
