It was only five years ago that an unknown accountant with a name made for poker qualified to the Main Event via a $39 online satellite. He ended up doing pretty well… winning the whole thing and starting the online poker boom. We’re talking of Chris Moneymaker, of course, and thanks to that little victory Chris has become one of the biggest names in poker. Ever since he qualified through our site in 2003, he’s been a great ambassador for both the game and for PokerStars.

To mark the five-year anniversary of Chris Moneymaker’s monumental victory Pokerstars has formed Team Moneymaker, where a select few – 15 players, and the man himself – will be part of the most exclusive group trying to repeat Chris Moneymaker’s achievement.

The top 15 players in the Team Moneymaker final will be heading for Las Vegas playing the Main Event courtesy of a PokerStars WSOP package including some great extras:

$10,000 buy-in to the World Series 2008 Main Event.
Hotel accommodation at the Palms in Las Vegas.
$2,500 for expenses
Dinner with Chris Moneymaker and the Team.
Very-limited-edition Team Moneymaker merchandise.
Other commemorative items.
Special Team Moneymaker feature in the PokerStars Blog.

How to make the Team:

All you have to do is take part in the twice-daily Team Moneymaker $39 tournaments. If you finish high enough, (depending on how many people enter) you’ll be awarded a ticket to the Team Moneymaker Final. Finish in the top 15 of the Final and you’re on The Team

Team Moneymaker $39 Qualifiers:

Every day from May 28at both 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM (ET). 1 in 6 entrants go through to the Team Moneymaker Final. Find them in the lobby under "Events" then "WSOP" and "All".
