High-stakes poker legend Andrew Robl testified to a federal grand jury on Thursday that he coached embattled attorney Tom Goldstein for a series of heads-up matches starting in 2016. The result? Around $50 million in profit for Goldstein, Robl and other poker players who were in on the action.
Goldstein's heads-up matches against billionaire Alec Gores and two foreign gamblers named "Tango" and "Chairman" were first revealed in a January 2025 indictment against Goldstein, which noted that the superstar attorney had been coached and staked by two unnamed professional poker players.
One of those coaches was revealed earlier in the trial to be poker player Keith Gipson, while Robl's testimony on behalf of Goldstein confirmed the cash game legend's role in the made-for-movie matchups.
