Then along came World Poker Tour, and poker was mainstream. When Chris Moneymaker, who qualified online, took home the first prize of $2.500,00.00, online poker gained unprecedented exposure. Since then, many players have qualified online for the major poker tournaments. If you don't have the $10,000 entry fee, you can still qualify by winning a satellite tournament.
