Moneymaker Starts at #1

The man that many consider responsible for the poker boom is none other than Chris Moneymaker.

The amateur player with a name made for poker, qualified online back in 2003 and went on to win the Main Event, which sparked a surge in poker that had never been seen before.

He's back today for another shot at the Holy Grail, and interestingly amongst this massive field, will spend his day at table #1.

Some of the other early notable players in this section bring an international flare to this 4th of July, with Vicky Coren, Ralph Perry, Luca Pagano, Fabrice Soulier, Andrew Scott and Sam Khouiss part of the field on Day 1b.
