I cannot wait to watch this and it is quite incredible that it has been 15 years since his win. I think we were all caught up in the dream when Chris won the main event and it gave hope to all poker players' who dreamt about making it big one day

And this is how you start your career plus earning millions with it. You just win an 86 USD qualifier to a tournament, and then you win the first place. Didnt actually know that story, but it is one more, with a qualifier winning big money. So never stop trying with the satellites

Not many were expecting that the poker game has been so successful, but television has made it happen, and later the internet has captured a lot of players through the famous or less famous online poker rooms, depending on their success. It's normal not to be successful in a field, if you do not advertise and televisions are the biggest source of advertising. The story of Chris Moneymaker impressed even more and ,,these things'' became remarked around the world. Players multiplied and this is the story of Poker Boom.
of course This story has inspired many players around the world .... convinced them that even with a little money you can achieve big goals .... Well, of course you need a lot of patience .... and a great game skill .... of course a lot good luck .... No luck, no way to win poker

Anyone wants to make money by the easy way methods, but this thing is not for all. Some persons are lucky and make money very easy and some do not very lucky and they will still try. When you see on TV a beautiful story and a big amount of money, which have been won in a game of poker, you want the same thing, but of course only a few gamblers will give the shot and they will earn big money.
