I'll have to check that story out. I heard Moneymaker was broke within a year or two of winning. He had backers even for the online satellite, so he only got to keep a mil or so and lost all that sports betting. These were just rumors from other players but I had heard it enough to believe it.
I ran into him in the elevator on the way to play in the ME in 2005 and talked to him for a minute. He seemed friendly. Never played with him though. I heard he offered Farha a split when he had a 2 to 1 chip lead and Farha still said no.
