From 1 Poker Chip to $900,000 - The Moneymaker Comeback Story

[@oreoninja918]

"i'm Chris Moneymaker, I won 900,000. And I'm happy" LOL

[@TiltedTexPoker]

ACR WON 900 k lol

[@Pops1020]

Bro hit 10 rivers 😂

[@tanthony298]

That’s how you become a top pro all the crushers don’t run bad lol

[@jameskim3116]

That’s how he won the main too, he got it in so bad and got so lucky on the river all tournament

[@doug6839]

Y'all should watch rampage poker if you think this is lucky, he's getting it in good more often than not. Just because he's landing his out on the river he's usually in with more than 50% equity to start, this is really good play, plenty of them didn't go his way on this run.

[@bretcheesman-wf4sz]

We are aware that the river is there for a reason right? As far as i know there's no rule saying you're required to make your hand before the river card comes. I will admit $maker is lucky AF, but you basically have a %0 chance to even win a relatively small mtt without hitting at least "10 rivers" along the way, let alone a large one full of reg 🦈's!

[@britox.6216]

@@doug6839checking him out

[@thomaslabelle3093]

The title needs to be edited, it wasn't 1 chip it was from 1 big blind to 900k and I really need to learn that strategy of just hitting every river possible to win big tournaments 🤣

[@marcusmazzuca9367]

That bugged the hell out of me too

[@9BallBory]

@@marcusmazzuca9367play for as long as him and you’ll have it happen once

[@kyanpepper92teller97]

To be fair he got sucked out on a couple times also on the river

[@iamtheboredlife9915]

Not with that attitude 😅 jk

[@iamtheboredlife9915]

I watched this man win the 2003 wsop main event at 16 and was hooked on poker. This man blew poker up, poker stars real money

[@md4773]

Glad Chris won. He's way overdue. Chances are if you are watching this video it is because Chris Moneymaker got you, like me, started in poker. Congrats sir.

[@SearchingForNessie]

Yeah man he's my poker hero. Always will be. He changed the course of my life back in 2004. I love him. Congrats man.

[@trippinxout]

Chris Moneymaker is the greatest poker player ever. I appreciate his play style, wins and strategies, and teaching moments from his experience. His charisma and energy is an inspiration to me and I am grateful to have seen his journey to the top, as a poker legend, and hero, and to have grown up in the Moneymaker era. His dedication and hard work shows his passion to the craft is unmatched. LFGChris !

[@ianshirreffs5604]

What a comeback!!! Nice win, Chris. Ya gotta love to see it.

[@benrudolph8571]

Such a genuine dude. What a run!

[@Kong_fool]

Poker God was like, it’s Moneymakers time to shine boys! 🎉

[@ambientexpanse]

This was very, very well done! Please, please make more of these mini documentaries and give a raise to whoever produced, edited, etc them. Also, I died when Barbero said, "ICM is for poor people, fuck that shit!" 😅

[@iScWaBa]

I really enjoy Moneymakers process of thinking through hands

[@ddiotte80]

He's a great player and even better person congrats Chris

[@MichaelTexas70]

ACR must have a great meal plan for their pros

[@danielfiumetto1830]

Hahaha

[@evanace5716]

I would tilt my face off if I lose to k9 with qq

[@sneakkyz3696]

It’s not even that bad of a beat. One over card you’re odds really aren’t that bad

[@matthewribeiro1167]

You must not play poker very often , because it happens a lot

[@Dan-zz5yv]

Chris is a fantastic ambassador for poker and clearly just a stand up guy. I wish him all the best always!

[@dynochronlock]

God I remember when Chris won first time .i hope brand i is doing well and the package store! Moneymaker s are goid ppl!

[@albertg63]

Couldn't have happened to a more humble nicer person to be honest.

[@anthonyrosatti3991]

Changed the game for the better years ago and still kicking Assssss!! Congrats CM!! 🎉 🕺 Oh yeah, and still the best name in Poker!!! ♥️ ♦️ ♣️ ♠️

[@virtualjoker9036]

The Ace on river and that final table K jam saved his ass

[@Bargainhuntersthrift]

WHAT A BEAST !!!!

[@redman958]

Congrats Moneymaker! Showing the world he isn't just a one hit wonder.

[@mychaelmitchell4632]

Nacho of the goat! He's always a trip and smiling. Lucky to have him in his corner, probably helped Chris a bunch

[@derekjwalls]

Luck boxed it just like in 03

[@Fred.Fiumefreddo33]

Name of game

[@countryfucius]

Never underestimate that last "chip"! Well done, Chris!

[@MichaelSinnema-vb3dx]

Top stuff Chris - great to see you win again. You are a inspiration to poker - well done!

[@cyncitynv7413]

Congrats Chris! Ante up!

[@kevinsmith968]

Great Job Chris well deserved

[@yoiink]

this reminds me of the time I didn't play a Triton event and did not win.

[@SurgingInsight]

Yea, he is a great dude and seems very chill and genuine but his gameplay is always atrocious. Needs the miracles to win

[@carpetbilly]

@@SurgingInsight but the thing is he always hits his miracles.. the guy is just damn lucky for life

[@Fred.Fiumefreddo33]

Seems like good timing to me

[@amazingazblo0239]

The Man Who got the Moneymaker Effect

[@PappaMustafa]

He's built like he sits at a poker table 12 hours a day.

[@virtualjoker9036]

Dude I chocked on my bagel reading that lmao

[@TaylorHaubrich]

The ONLY reason I play on ACR is because of Chris. He lives near my Aunt and Uncle in Nashville and he seems like a good guy.

[@ColtonScheer.Realtor]

Money maker: you’re toast, you had three outs, if that makes you feel any better… must’ve never heard of a flush

[@funsworld9334]

Awesome, premier time, LETZ GO!!! 😍

[@acr_poker]

Hope you enjoyed the episode!

[@justiceforall3973]

Some people are just born luckier than others! 🍀 There’s no other way to put it… 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I guess if you play enough tournaments, you are bound to get lucky once or twice…. Again, there’s no other way to put it…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ClintWalker-p9c]

A Chris and a Chair 😂🎉❤

[@DramaticDegen]

Vids are lookin good team keep it up

[@TiltedTexPoker]

Nothing like reporting to daddy after the big win 😂😂😂😂

Can somebody tell me what is the opening soundtrack? Beautiful melody from a movie I can't remember, great video, thanks !

Well I found it, Corals under the sun (instrumental)

[@daxopolous8753]

Ok solid run chris

[@acr_poker]

One of the strongest runs since his 2003 win.

[@Rocketleaguedude101]

Bro hit 52 rivers

[@RicardoPowellardo]

The announcers were wrong a bit. KQo bb call vs. 18bbs butn shove with 2 lower stacks on the FT is more than horrible. Go Money!

[@tomfritz6257]

pretty insane how bad chris is, if you hear his logic and strategy. love the guy tho!

[@shanescull9552]

Just play more hands if you want to hit river or bust. Coin flip. Any hand has potential to become something. Master Choosing your battles to fight.

[@nickboom4423]

Why go all in with K5 off at the final table😭

[@nds9000]

I always wondered is he real last name Moneymaker?
