Chris Moneymaker is giving poker fans a new way to follow the 2026 World Series of Poker.
The WPN Pro has launched a new YouTube vlog series from Las Vegas, offering a behind-the-scenes look at life during poker’s biggest summer series. Beyond chip counts and results, fans can follow along as Moneymaker plays events, prepares between tournaments, interacts with other players, and shares what the grind really looks like away from the tables.
For anyone who follows poker, that kind of access is worth watching.
More Than Just Results
Tournament results only tell part of the story. A deep run, a tough bustout, or a big decision at the table can look simple on a results page, but there is always more happening behind the scenes.
That is where Moneymaker’s vlog stands out. The series gives fans a closer look at the experience of playing the WSOP from someone who knows exactly what the biggest stage in poker feels like.
The first episode on Moneymaker’s official YouTube channel includes coverage of his 12th-place finish in Event #8: $1,500 Badugi, where he earned $7,095. It also gives viewers a look at his table experience, conversations with players and fans, and the day-to-day rhythm of competing in Las Vegas.
A Poker Boom Icon Back in the Spotlight
More than two decades after his historic 2003 Main Event win, Moneymaker remains one of the most important names in poker.
His story is still one of the game’s most famous: an unknown accountant turned a $90 online satellite into a $2.5 million Main Event victory. That win helped spark the poker boom and inspired countless players to take their own shot online.
Now, as a WPN Pro, Moneymaker continues to compete, represent the game, and bring fans along for the ride.
Follow This Summer
New vlog episodes are expected throughout the summer as Moneymaker continues playing the 2026 WSOP schedule, building toward the Main Event.
If you want more than chip counts and final results, this is a series worth following. It is a chance to see the WSOP through the eyes of one of the players who helped make the event what it is today.
