2021 WSOP: Former Champ Chris Moneymaker Set to Miss This Year's WSOP

The 2003 WSOP Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker has announced that he will not be attending the 2021 World Series of Poker.

In a tweet, the Poker Hall of Famer stated as one of his reasons that he did not want to bring the virus home, with his nine-year-old child unable to be vaccinated.

Many poker players and fans were quick to commiserate, including three-time WSOP bracelet winner David Bach.

REALLY hate it but canceled my trip to El Paso and Vegas for the @WSOP.
