POKER INFO - PROILE - Chris Moneymaker

You people who bash him are ridiculous. Everyone who has ever won one of these events has gotten lucky at some point. The "Ivey" hand was a bad beat for Moneymaker on the turn to begin with, so that's justice in my opinion. I'm not saying he's as good as the top pros, he did get real lucky, but he did not play BAD. The bluff on Farha was great, and so was the call on Boyd (I know I would have mucked that one, but he put him on a hand and stuck to his guns). I'm fairly confident that he will never win this event again, but who knows. I wouldn't say he's terrible.
