Chris Moneymaker is one of the biggest names in poker and a current ACR Pro. And now, the 2003 WSOP Main Event champ, who ignited the online poker revolution, has added the title of Triton Champion to his list of achievements!  

Moneymaker just won Event #1 of the Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro. It was the $25,000 buy-in, GG Million$ Live. There were a total of 163 entries and a final prize pool of $4,075,000, with Moneymaker taking home $903,000 for his sterling victory. 

Moneymaker was almost eliminated on the bubble, but he was able to run the one Big Blind all the way to victory. You can read about all the amazing details here in this Triton recap article. Brandon Hamlet, who was one of our $110,0000 package winners, also finished in 11th place, taking home $77,500.

The ACR Poker staff sat down with Moneymaker for an exclusive interview. You should make sure to watch the whole thing, but here are some of the highlights. 

On his thoughts on the overall victory:

“I never thought I would be pulling this one off. I had a weird feeling after I got down really short that once I started to spin, I had a good chance.”

On the competition at the Triton series:

“Triton is one of the toughest titles to get with the caliber of players here. This is honestly sweeter to me than winning the World Series.” 

On his thinking when down to one Big Blind:

“If I find a spot. I can get up to 3-4 bigs, and then find another spot. Don’t give up. And by the time I got to the feature table, I really had a feeling I would win.” 

On how this win compares to recent ACR Poker Venom finish:

“Getting 6th at the Venom was almost as accomplishing as this (Triton) win. The Venom had 5,000 people and a $12.5 Million guarantee, the biggest Venom ever, and my 6th place finish was just insane.”

On representing ACR on the big stage:

“To be able to represent ACR at this stage has been incredible. The opportunities I have are just phenomenal, from playing Triton to opening my own Social Club and Tour. I believe in the vision the ACR team has.”

We can’t wait to see how Chris and the other ACR competitors fare the rest of the time at Triton. Stay tuned to the Big Blind Blog for all the latest updates.
