Chris Moorman: How I Won $42 Million Playing Poker

This is something a bit different. We're talking about the business of poker. Our guest Chris Moorman is one of the most successful poker players of all time. He has won over $42 million dollars playing cards and is widely considered to be the best online tournament player ever, but he’s also crossed over successfully into live tournaments – winning over $1 million on three separate occasions. At one point, Moorman was also one of the biggest 'backers' in the online poker scene, and tells the incredible story of how some amateur money-management and sloppy decision-making cost him around $3 million. Chris is a poker legend; and in this one we hear all the most incredible stories from his 15 years as a poker pro - and how he turned his talent into a business.
