Introductions
It's been a full eight years since the poker boom and it is mostly credited to one epic run in the WSOP Main Event. The story is well known and needs little introduction. Chris Moneymaker, having never played a live poker tournament in his life, bested a field of 839 players to win $2.5 million dollars. In that event, he beat one of the worlds best players, Sam Farha, in one of the most entertaining heads up matches in history.
Today we get to recreate that moment from 2003. The two players will play a best of 3 series and in this recreation, the two players will start with the same amount of chips they had to begin with in that amazing battle back in 2003. In the second match they will switch roles, and if they split the first two matches, they will play a third with even chip stacks.
