Summary
Molly Bloom had it all—an Olympic skiing career, brains, ambition, and a taste for high stakes. But after an injury cut her Olympic dreams short, she pivoted to a new kind of competition: underground high-stakes poker.
Hosting exclusive games for Hollywood elites, Wall Street titans, and even the Russian mob, Molly became the “Poker Princess” of Tinseltown. But when the FBI came knocking, her empire crumbled. Convicted in 2014 of running an illegal gambling operation, Molly’s life took yet another unexpected turn.
How did she go from Olympic hopeful to running the most infamous poker ring in Hollywood? And what happened after the FBI shut it all down?
Join us as we dive into the thrilling true story behind Molly’s Game.
