Re: Tell me what you think. Chris Moneymaker 1/2 hand

I dont know what you mean by backers. I thought he won his seat on stars.

Yes, but like you said, he was in debt and needed money before the WSOP win. He thought about tanking stars q for the 8K 4th place prize. His "backer" (no clue on his name) gave him 10K for him not to tank and to play in the WSOP and the backer got 50% of Chris.
Hence, Chris only got about 750K after taxes/backers.
