40 Years of WSOP - Part 3

In 2003, an accountant from Tennessee with an ironic last name blew the doors off of the World Series of Poker by capturing $2,500,000 and the Main Event title. The so-called "Moneymaker Effect" that followed vaulted poker to previously unimaginable heights at a time when the world was ready to embrace the game. At PokerNews TV, our video team has been piecing together a production that explores the entire 40-year history of the World Series of Poker. This third and final part of the video series delves into the Moneymaker Effect and the development of online and international poker over the course of the past six years.
