PokerStars Loses Key Ambassadors, Including Chris Moneymaker, Who Decides to Spend More Time with Family
PokerStars has recently experienced significant changes with several key ambassadors and professionals announcing their departures. Chris Moneymaker, who was an ambassador for PokerStars for 17 years, decided to leave the platform. On December 31, 2020, Moneymaker announced his departure, citing a desire to spend more time with his family.
PokerStars published a nostalgic video highlighting Chris Moneymaker's legendary 2003 WSOP win, which marked the start of the poker boom. This victory is often credited with popularizing poker and bringing it into the mainstream.
Other notable departures include Mikhail Shalamov, who announced his exit from PokerStars and is currently trying to cover his vacation expenses by playing the ukulele. Selinia Lin, who left after 10 years with the platform, is expecting more freedom and adventures in 2021. Additionally, Anatoly Filatov ended his three-year partnership with partypoker and joined GGTeam Russia, promising frequent streams and wins.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
