Chris Moneymaker has his iPad in front of him, but he's playing games on it and clearly isn't keeping up with the news. Or at least not with PokerNews. Moneymaker is one of the most famous American players on PokerStars' roster, but he was unaware that Amaya, owner of the PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker brands, received approval from regulators to operate in New Jersey.
You can read all about it on the PokerNews.com frontpage, and we suggest Moneymaker does the same. "Huh? What did I miss? When did that happen?" we overheard Moneymaker say as his table mates informed him on the recent developments.
