Poker contributors

WSOP tournament contributed greatly to the poker expansion. Its broadcast by the main media helped poker to arrive to millions of people’s houses for first time.
Another fact that contributed to increase the popularity of this game was the triumph of Chris Moneymaker in the WSOP 2003’s main event. Chris, who was a normal accountant that played poker as a hobby, was able to beat professional players and brought home a huge amount of money. After that, a huge increase in the number of people who started to play online and at land based casinos was registered and poker became really popular.
