Johnny Chan and Chris Moneymaker Win WSOP Grudge Matches
The newly introduced ‘WSOP Grudge Match’ is an entertaining concept designed to recreate defining moments from past WSOP Main Event heads-up finishes.
Match One: After winning a $39 online satellite Chris Moneymaker famously became the 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion thus launching a poker boom. He once again succeeded and collected $50,000, while Farha took home $20,000. You can secure your Full Tilt Poker Deposit Bonus by making your first deposit after using the bonus code during signup.
In the subsequent Grudge Match, a remake was staged of the 1989 WSOP final where Johnny Chan failed on three back to back wins after Phil Hellmuth won his first WSOP bracelet, holding pocket nines to Chan’s suited A-7.
This time around, though, Chan came out with a plan of revenge after the 2 hour battle culminated in Hellmuth pushing all-in with K-10 to Chan’s pocket eights. The Full Tilt Poker Download starts with you going over to the main website and clicking on the download link.
Now all that remains is for Chan to play Erik Seidel in a recreation of the 1988 Main Event final table made even more famous by the poker movie “Rounders.”
