The story of Chris Moneymaker is what most serious poker players would consider the dream scenario. After playing an online satellite for $40 to win a seat in the WSOP main event 2003, Chris Moneymaker somehow went on to win the event.

Chris Moneymaker has since written a book about his life and the 2003 WSOP main event, and has truly shown to online poker players the world over that anything is possible. Since his victory, Moneymaker has plyed a lot of offline tournaments worldwide, but has not managed to pick up any more major titles or bracelets since. He is sponsored by Pokerstars, and continues to play the WSOP most years.

Online poker players do not always take advantage of the opportunities to qualify for major events via online satellites, as perhaps the dream of going on to win it all seems too distant and difficult to hope for. I can certainly agree with the sentiment that it is extremely difficult to find a way to emulate Chris Moneymakers achivement in 2003, but this online player turned offline pro is living proof that it can be done. Another interesting point to remember is that in that final table of 2003, Moneymaker beat pro player Sam Farha heads up to win the event, which again, goes to show that nothing is impossible when it comes to poker.
