Andrew Robl

Andrew Robl was born in the USA in 1986. Rumors have it that he no longer plays poker. But those who know poker players know very well that we've seen dozens of players come back after their "retirement". Andrew has distinguished himself as much in international tournaments as in cash games. His career tournament winnings total over $5 million. He has 9 WSOP paid places, 1 final table, 1 WPT final table and 8 paid places to his credit. His most impressive performance came in 2013, when he won the $100,000 buy-in Aussie Millions Challenge. For his victory, he pocketed $1,055,699. He was also seen at the time on NBC's popular Poker After Dark.

One of the biggest pots in history

Andrew Robl is also known for winning one of the biggest pots in poker history. The hand in question was played between him and Tom Dwan on High Stakes Poker. In this hand, both players found themselves all in preflop. Tom Dwan with KK in hand and Andrew Robl with AK in hand. Robl hit an ace on the flop and completed his flush. Tom Dwan took the badbeat well despite the size of the pot. In the words of Jean-Robert Bellande, for Dwan, it was as if he'd just lost a $300 pot. Robl also played another legendary pot that was televised in which he got knocked out of the PartyPoker World Open with a 9-of-a-kind against a 4-of-a-kind of queens!

What is he doing today?

Since 2022, Andrew has been more discreet about his life. No paid places are registered to his name in international tournaments. At last count, he still lives in the USA with his partner and two children.
