When PokerStars put up the idea of online qualifiers facing off against a cadre of pros in heads up competition, the first day made the pros look like the mewling newcomers. When the pros started to pull things around, this picture summed up the relief and excitement they felt.
At least, I hope that’s what this picture represents.
Seriously, a fantastic shot, with Joe Hachem giving Chris Moneymaker a surprise hug that only he could get away with. Something about being part of the exclusive club of PokerStars pros who won the main event of the World Series of Poker, I'm sure.
If you want to sweat the action for the rest of All Star Week, here is what you do. Log in to PokerStars (and if this is your first time, use bonus code stars50 for a $50 bonus), then look under EVENTS -- SPECIAL in the PokerStars Tournament lobby.
