Chris Moneymaker Opening Kentucky Poker Room in the Fall

Former world champ Chris Moneymaker is weeks away from opening a poker room.

The 2003 WSOP Main Event winner told PokerNews he plans to launch a social card room in Kentucky next month, and he's naming it Moneymaker's.

Prior to COVID-19, he considered dipping into the booming Texas poker scene, but inevitably decided against doing so. Instead, he's opening a room in Paducah, a town of approximately 25,000 northwest of Nashville, Tennessee, and about three hours from Moneymaker's home in Mississippi.
