Chris Moneymaker’s 2025 poker dominance includes a secret **main event** win while commentating
Chris Moneymaker expanded his poker career in 2025, adding several major titles. His victories included an unprecedented win while commentating on his own main event. He triumphed in events near me across the US, including the PGA Tour and Eventbrite platforms.
In May, Moneymaker won the Aldo Poker Tour Main Event at Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida. Two months later, he secured another Aldo Poker Tour title at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Earlier in the year, he also won a mixed Omaha event at MGM National Harbor under the same tour. But his most unusual victory came during the Phil’s Thrill tournament, a $10,000 buy-in Sunday Major on ACR Poker. While providing live commentary with Rob Kuhn, Moneymaker played the event himself—with a 30-minute delay. He managed to win the $160,000 first prize without revealing his success during the broadcast. The challenge required him to stay composed and avoid spoiling the result while analysing the action in real time.
Moneymaker’s 2025 results included multiple wins in his own tour and a high-stakes online victory. His ability to balance commentary with top-level play added a rare twist to his latest achievements. No records confirm any other reported tournament wins for him that year.
