I met Mr. Moneymaker at this year's WSOP main event. He was on a break outside RIO. Nice guy. Very approachable. Ego wasn't in the way of a decent conversation. I've met other celebrities, and some of them have class, and some don't. Chris does. I never believed much in luck 'til I started playing NLHE. This game requires courage, luck, acting ability...Chris displayed all of these attributes. He proves to us that we can do it too, not because he got lucky, but because he was unknown to the Poker community when he started the series, and won. That tells me that I can face Phil Ivey and win. That tells me that I can face Humberto Brenes and win. And it tells me that I can succeed without the success inflating my ego. Thanks Mr. Moneymaker.
