World Poker Champion Scoops Huge Cash Prize!

Moneymaker took home over $900,000 in the Triton Montenegro's GG $25,000 Million Live event, defeating 162 other poker pros. With this victory, he surpassed his opponents and earned a staggering $903,000 (€836,241).

The elated winner: "I knew I wouldn't lose today. I could have had any hand and I would have won."

It's no surprise considering Moneymaker managed to get the card he needed at least five times on the river, found himself with less than a big blind at one point, but still emerged victorious in the end.

Ten years ago, Moneymaker, who played poker online under the name "Money800," made a name for himself in the poker world. After only depositing $39 and winning, he took home a massive $2.5 million during the WSOP Main Event.

The top German performer ended up being Chris Nguyen, landing in 25th place and earning $43,000, as did Austrian pro Klemens Router in 22nd place.
