Chris Moneymaker’s victory in the WSOP 2003 Main Event as a clear amateur sparked the Internet poker boom. And nothing was more emblematic of his play than this major bluff that put dashing Sam Farha in a world of hurt.

Chris entered a field of over 700 players. He had to scrape together the money to visit Vegas, including a loan from his friend, David Gamble, in exchange for a percentage of Chris’s winnings. The first day of the tournament, Chris was placed at a table that included Johnny Chan, who appeared in Rounders, and Phil Ivey, considered by many to be the best player in the world at the time.

As the tournament continued, Chris would build the biggest chip stack. He would knock out several of the biggest names in the sport, eventually squaring off with Farha for the championship. As we all know Chris eventually won the bracelet, thus taking home $2.5 million dollars.
