Fair take part in the ESPN through phone and he told the listeners that, “The structure is really good and this year I haven’t played as many events as I normally do because I had an elbow injury, but it’s just a good tournament [series]. The buy-ins are a lot bigger than they normally are.”

As part of the poker industry icon, Moneymaker is only registered to join one event in the 2010 WSOP. He commented, “Right now, I’m just playing in the Main Event. I’m talking with my wife and we’re trying to figure out if I can go out the first week. I’d like to play in the $50,000 [Player’s Championship]. My big goal right now is just to play in the WSOP and from there we’ll see if we can win it.”
