Moneymaker is out on Day 1

Busted out when someone rivered him. Ahh . . the irony

Moneymaker had a good run lastyear. But really, what more can you expect from an internet player?

You Are Absolutely Right!

I dissagree. I have played poker for over 5 years now, in B&M and online. And I have to say I like the online poker just as much as B&M. if not a little more so online....and lately all I play is online. And my nearest cardroom is less then 2 miles away.
2 years in a row now someone has won the WSOP from an online entry. (2003 and ,this years winner 2004) They both came from PokerStars.com which is where I play. They sent 912 paid entrants to WSOP just this year alone, all paid with $1000 spending cash. Now that is alot, and must say impressive from an online poker site. Check them out sometime. They have all limits, and in my opinion the most tournys online ANYWHERE.

Chris Monemaker is a descent player. However, he did get incredibly lucky in the 2003 WSOP. But how can you win the WSOP and not be incredibly lucky. Raymer was incredibly lucky. He's a good player too, but luck certainly played a huge role in his sucess. Raymer outdrew 2 all-ins about 2 or 3 times in a row.
