Americas Cardroom Pro highlights game’s mainstream reach as $50 Million OSS XL wraps up.
SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA / ACCESS Newswire / March 23, 2026 / A viral poker video featuring Kylie Jenner has prompted a response from Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion and an Americas Cardroom Pro, adding a new chapter to the online conversation around the game.
In the original video, Jenner-model, entrepreneur, and global influencer-shared that she began playing Texas Hold’em two years ago and has since become “obsessed,” while also explaining the fundamentals of the game. The clip gained significant traction online, prompting reactions across social media, including a Barstool Sports post referencing Moneymaker.
Moneymaker responded with a video of his own that quickly circulated online. In the clip, he appeared wearing one of his wife’s bras as part of the lighthearted response, while inviting viewers to learn how to play poker ‘the Moneymaker way’ at Americas Cardroom.
“It’s all in good fun,” said Moneymaker. “But if you’re just getting into poker, there’s no better place to learn the ropes and start playing for real than at Americas Cardroom.”
Moneymaker’s 2003 WSOP victory is widely credited with triggering the “Moneymaker Effect,” a surge in global poker participation that helped drive the game into the mainstream. He continues to represent Americas Cardroom as a Team Pro.
