Moneymaker Reveals His Poker Hall of Fame Votes
The 2003 WSOP champ discloses his ballot picks and reflects on his Main Event bubble
Chris Moneymaker disclosed his Poker Hall of Fame ballot picks and reflected on his 2026 WSOP Main Event bubble experience in an interview published this week by Card Player.
Why It Matters
Moneymaker's Hall of Fame vote carries genuine weight: as a 2003 WSOP Main Event champion and one of poker's most recognisable ambassadors, his endorsements can shape public and industry opinion around the annual induction debate. His continued visibility as an ACR Poker-sponsored pro also keeps the online poker platform in front of a broad recreational audience. The combination of Hall of Fame discourse and a high-profile bubble story gives operators and media outlets a natural content hook during the WSOP cycle. For players following the Hall of Fame race, a Moneymaker endorsement is a meaningful signal worth tracking.
Context
Moneymaker's 2003 Main Event victory — won via a $86 satellite entry — is widely credited with triggering a global online poker boom, making his ongoing commentary on the game's institutions unusually resonant. As of August 2026, he remains an active sponsored pro for ACR Poker, one of the larger US-facing online poker rooms operating under a Costa Rican licence. The Poker Hall of Fame induction process draws votes from a combination of living inductees and media members each year.
What's Next
The WSOP Hall of Fame class of 2026 has not yet been announced as of this week; the formal induction typically occurs during the Main Event final stages. Moneymaker's stated picks, reported by Card Player, will add to the public lobbying that often precedes the official vote count.
