Poker career
Goldberg's first major poker success came in the 2006 World Series of Poker main event, where he finished in 10th place winning $1,154,527. Goldberg was able to find continued success after the 2006 WSOP. [2] He finished 48th in the 2008 WSOP 2,000 no-limit hold 'em event earning $7,823. [3] He was elimated in 2008 WSOP Main Event by Brian "ZBT" Horton and did not cash. [4]
In 2011, Goldberg's entered the final table in the Borgata Poker Open as 2nd in chips. [5] [6] He eventually finished 4th earning $280,925. Controversy erupted when Goldberg confronted eventual winner Bahbak Oboodi's rail, resulting in fans being ejected from the audience. [7]
He was known for bearing a strong resemblance to Chris Moneymaker , the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. [8] Since then, Goldberg has cashed in some World Poker Tour events and had some success at the 2007 World Series of Poker . At the 2007 World Series of Poker, he had five cashes and won his first career bracelet in a $1,500 buy-in Mixed Hold'em (Limit/No Limit) championship winning $204,935.
As of 2015, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,400,000. His twelve cashes at the WSOP account for $1,412,891 of those winnings. [9]
