I really missed my chance to say, "In b4 unsubstantiated allegations." It's sad how easy it is to make up crap about other people on the Internet. If what you say is real, show proof.

Clearly money is a little tight if he's not paying back 1k and it's starting to damage his reputation. I wonder how good Moneymaker could be in 2018 if he refocused and worked on his game with a microstakes coach.

Might be able to beat Jamie Staples.
I still make Staples the small favorite in a series of heads up matches.

They should do it, I would watch for sure.

I've heard him say all his live buyins are paid for by Pokerstars, so he's on a lifetime freeroll. He's playing on PSNJ because that's where Stars wants him to do marketing. He's still a very recognizable figure in the United States, more than someone like mojave or Lex Velhuis.
Was playing at Bally's in AC this past weekend, and saw Chris playing there as well. Wondering what he was doing playing 1/2 in AC - now I know. Marketing for Pokerstars, which makes sense since Pokerstars has a presence at Resorts - which still doesn't have a poker room...

And for those who are interested, Chris had a large stack of chips in front of him - something like $1200 when I last looked - so he must be doing something right!

Wasn't that also the episode that Tony D(where did he go anyways) folded 3 Jacks against Helmuth?
Seated in coach frying to hell hopefully. SGrizz is a true OG ( original degen )

The old episodes of the 2003 Main Event are incredible. All on YouTube, worth the watch.

He was arguably the most important person responsible for the poker boom.

I would argue that Henry Orenstein is the most important person responsible for the poker boom. He invented the hole card camera. Try watching poker without that and its boring AF. Wouldn't be a boom without a hole card camera which came out earlier in 2003. Thats when I started watching first season of WPT on Travel Channel spring 2003.

Im risking alot by indulging this information but i feel like its time the pokerworld knows the truth. the reason this happened is summed up into one word, ILLUMINATI.

Trust me when i tell you some satanic **** went down on the "isle of man" (ironic name huh?). Chris Moneymaker knows exactly what im talking about as he was hand picked and is sworn to secrecy (for his safety). Trust me when i say he DID NOT get lucky. The outcome was determined before the first hand was dealt. ESPN was also in on this, that is why they will NEVER lose the rights to WSOP, that was part of the deal. WSOP, Scheinberg brothers, espn and chris "moneymaker", jack effel, all of these guys (plus more) know the truth.

The plan was to make poker boom and what better way to have the average joe named money maker win despite being an average player.

Last name moneymaker? turns $40 into over 2 million? THE BEST WAY TO HIDE IS BY HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT!

Take this hand for instance, aces and 8's aka "dead mans hand" notice the red bandana around humberto brenes neck. This is the blood oath on display.




thats all ill divulge for right now as im already getting paranoid.

I had the misfortune of being seated right next to Grizzle in a tournament at Maryland Live! last month. On Day 2, he was also directly next to me. He's a nice enough guy and he's funny at times but he never shuts the hell up, so he can be really annoying, and I think that's part of his game. I sort of wanted him to bust so I wouldn't have to hear him anymore, but I didn't call any of his all-ins, so he didn't affect my play. But I can see how his act wears thin on a lot of people.

Maybe he can finally pay the money he has owed to people in this forum for the last half-year.
