From Triton-Series Reports
So much of what we love about modern poker owes a huge debt of gratitude to one man.
It was Chris Moneymaker’s victory in the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event that is credited with igniting the poker boom — a boom that burned and grew through the following two decades, and eventually ended up with incredible tours like the Triton Super High Roller Series.
Tonight in Montenegro, as the Triton Series begins the final stop of it third season, Moneymaker has bossed his way into the headlines again. The man who was once just a plucky amateur, a fresh-faced 27-year-old accountant from Tennessee changing the poker landscape, tonight came of age as a high roller.
Moneymaker, now 48, beat a field of 163 entries to claim the first Triton title of his career, along with $903,000. It came in the $25,000 GG Million$ tournament, which kicked off Triton’s visit to the Maestral Resort in Montenegro.
