A recent AP article raises questions about the legality of Chris Moneymaker winning the World Series of Poker based on the fact that he gambled online to gain his entry - while living in Tennessee, where gambling is illegal.

In Moneymaker's case, it's unclear whether his $2.5 million win will be reviewed. Nevada officials said there does not appear to be any violations of state law since Moneymaker, 27, of Spring Hill, Tenn., paid the $10,000 buy-in and won the annual tournament at Binion's Horseshoe Hotel & Casino legitimately.

My take is that his means of entry into the competition (playing in an online tournament) was illegal, but that shouldn't affect the legality of his win at the WSOP. He should be prosecuted - probably fined a small amount in line with what Tennessee law says about gambling (I'd guess a class C misdemeanor or similar). Link
