Online poker
Try not to tear up after reading the story of the demise of online poker in the United States of America. The Wikipedia entry…dig much further and you will indeed cry.
World Series of Poker Main Event
An event that Adam HAS NOT participated in. He mentions the famous 2003 WSOP main event won by a “nobody,” Chris Moneymaker, a 27-year-old accountant. Yes, his real name.
Moneymaker won a seat in the main event by winning a “satellite” online tournament. The poker craze took off for a while after Moneymaker’s victory, known as the “Moneymaker effect.”
