gambling new article on moneymaker

There's a new in-depth AP article on Chris Moneymaker's journey to the WSOP crown. It has some new information, like the struggles that he had with hold'em and his other gambling endeavors:

Moneymaker was a Pokerstars regular, using the handle "Money800." As he struggled to learn the intricacies of no-limit Texas Hold 'em, he'd lost more than $15,000 in the past year.

In college, he'd been a sports gambling addict, winning and losing more than $50,000. His then-girlfriend, now wife, Kelly, finally delivered an ultimatum: sports betting or me.
