2003 World Series Of Poker Main Event Heads-Up Rematch: Chris Moneymaker Vs. Sam Farha
This was just about the time that poker exploded, creating a worldwide poker boom. The "Moneymaker effect" is sometimes given partial credit for this poker boom. In fact, many amateurs have won the main event. But Moneymaker's timing was obviously great. He also ran a famous bluff that helped him defeat Farha once the main event got heads up.
This is a 2011 rematch (grudge match) of that poker battle. The rematch is scheduled for Thursday, June 2, 2011.
There is no buyin for this event, and presumably the players are getting some undisclosed amount for participating in this rematch.
As the match progresses, this article will be updated with results of this special event.
Moneymaker and Farha decided to play a best-of-3 format. In the first round, Moneymaker got the same chip advantage he had going into the heads-up portion of the 2003 championship (about 5.3M to 2.8M in chips). Chris won that first round.
Farha then started with the same advantage in the second round. Although he lost the lead, Farha came back and won the second round.
In the third round (rubber match), the players start with the same chip stack. Farha gets an early 2-to-1 chip lead. He flops two pair with J's and Tens, and Moneymaker calls an all-in move by Sammy with two pair of J's and 2's. This is a huge cooler situation in favor or Sam, but Moneymaker hits a miracle 2 on the river to take a 2-to-1 chip lead.
