In 2003, an amateur poker player with a full-time job won a $39 online satellite, ultimately leading to a seat in the World Series of Poker main event. Playing in the WSOP for the first time, this accountant from Tennessee who just so happened to be named Chris Moneymaker stunned the world by winning the 2003 WSOP main event -- an “inconceivable” run that changed the poker world forever.
Thirteen years later, another amateur poker player with a full-time job outside the world of poker -- this one from Spain -- qualified for the WSOP main event by winning his way in on a run that began with a 30 Euro online satellite.
