Who Is Andrew Robl?

Robl grew up in suburban Michigan and was not particularly interested in a conventional path. He discovered poker by watching ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker, started playing with friends, and quickly moved into online cash games - underaged, like many players of his generation.

At 17, he made around $1,000 playing poker, lost it all, and had to take a job as a janitor to rebuild a bankroll. The lesson stuck. In an interview on Paul Phua’s YouTube channel, he described cleaning toilets as giving him a much clearer respect for money than he had before

By the summer between his senior year of high school and his intended first year of college, he had made $70,000 to $80,000 playing online. College did not happen. The professional poker career did.

What Does Andrew Robl Do for a Living?

Robl earns across two areas: live high-roller tournaments and private and televised high-stakes cash games.

  • Live Tournaments: A selective but productive record, with $5.871 million across just 35 cashes. His results are concentrated in high buy-in events - the WSOP , WPT Championship, Aussie Millions , and Triton events. His biggest score - A$1 million for winning the Aussie Millions $100K Challenge in 2013 - reflects a player who plays sparingly but at the highest available stakes.
  • Cash Games: The bigger part of his professional life, and the part least visible in any public database. Robl has been a regular in the biggest live cash games available - from Bobby’s Room-era Las Vegas to Triton Poker’s KRW1M/KRW1M/KRW2M streamed games in Jeju. He has also backed other players, as the Jean-Robert Bellande Triton cash game incident made very public.
  • Online Poker: Where his career began, though the publicly tracked results on both PokerStars and Full Tilt show net losses across his high-stakes cash game samples - a reflection of playing against elite opponents at $400/$800 PLO and NLHE rather than grinding soft fields.

The $3 million to $6 million estimate is a range, not a confirmed figure. It draws from his verified live tournament earnings of $5.871 million via his Hendon Mob profile, and assumptions about long-term cash game results across a career spent at some of the biggest private and televised games in the world.

The tournament record is the clearest part - 35 cashes, concentrated at high buy-ins, with several seven-figure and near-seven-figure results. The cash game picture is not publicly visible. The tracked online samples from PokerStars and Full Tilt show losses, but those are specific samples in high-stakes games against elite players. What his private game results look like over a decade-plus career is unknown.

The backing arrangement he ran with Jean-Robert Bellande is a reminder that at this level, income and losses can move in unexpected directions - and not always from his own hands.

The Aussie Millions Win: In 2013, Robl took down the A$100,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions in Melbourne for A$1,000,000, defeating Igor Kurganov from Russia heads-up for the title. It remains his biggest recorded live score and the centrepiece of a live tournament career that has always been built for depth over volume.

The Jean-Robert Bellande Triton Cash Game Incident

In June 2019, Robl appeared in Triton Poker’s live-streamed super high-stakes cash game in Jeju, South Korea, with blinds running at KRW1M/KRW1M/KRW2M ($900/$900/$1,800). He was seated at the table alongside Jean-Robert Bellande - who Robl was backing, meaning part of JRB’s buy-in was Robl’s money in exchange for a share of his profits.

What followed was one of the more painful backing experiences in recorded poker history.

JRB turned a $200,000 profit into a $450,000 loss in two consecutive hands. In the first, he five-bet shoved pre-flop with five-three suited. In the second, his pocket aces were cracked by pocket nines. Robl’s expression at the table said everything that needed to be said.

The Quads Over Quads Bad Beat

In 2010, at the $10K NLHE partypoker World Open, Robl found himself on the wrong end of one of the most brutal coolers in tournament poker. He rivered quad nines - against an opponent, Terry Lewis, who had already flopped quad queens. There was nothing to be done. The hand went viral in the poker community and has been discussed ever since as one of the cleaner examples of tournament variance at its most unforgiving.

The Unanswered Questions

The public record only goes so far. Here is what we genuinely do not know:

  • What his private cash game results total: Robl has played the biggest live cash games in the world throughout his career. The Triton appearances are documented; the rest is entirely private.
  • What his backing operations have produced: The JRB incident is the most public example of him backing another player. Whether he runs similar arrangements more broadly - and what those have returned - is not publicly known.
  • Whether a WSOP bracelet arrives: He has 11 cashes and one near-miss - a 3rd-place finish in 2008. At the stakes he plays, bracelet events are not always his priority, but the game is clearly there.
  • How active his schedule remains in 2026: His live tournament record has never been high-volume by design. Whether that continues or changes is not fully visible in the public record.

Andrew Robl Career Timeline

DateMilestone
Pre-2007Begins playing online cash games underaged as a teenager in Michigan. Makes $1,000, loses it all, takes a job as a janitor to rebuild his bankroll. Makes $70,000–$80,000 in a single summer and decides not to attend college.
2007Logs his first recorded live cash - 7th in the $5,100 NLHE event at the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond Classic at the Bellagio for $36,585.
2008First WSOP cash above $100K - 3rd in the $5,000 Mixed Limit/No Limit Hold’em event for $144,337. Begins appearing on Poker After Dark on NBC.
2010Finishes runner-up in the $10,000 Five Diamond Classic at the Bellagio for $549,003. Suffers the quads-over-quads bad beat at the partypoker World Open.
2012Finishes runner-up in the $100,000 Super High Roller at the WPT World Championship for $822,375.
2013Wins the A$100,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions for A$1,000,000 - his biggest live score, defeating Igor Kurganov heads-up.

What Is Andrew Robl’s Outlook in 2026?

At 39 in 2026, Robl has been a professional poker player for roughly two decades - almost all of it spent at the highest available stakes. His tournament record, while not high-volume, reflects sustained ability at buy-ins where most players cannot compete. The cash game career that runs alongside it is largely invisible to the public, which is by design.

A first WSOP bracelet would be the obvious missing piece on his tournament résumé. He has the game for it - a 3rd-place finish in 2008 and an 8th at the One Drop are the closest documented near-misses, both in fields full of elite players.

Beyond the results, Robl represents a particular type of professional poker player: one whose real career lives almost entirely in private games and high-stakes environments that rarely appear on any database. The $5.871 million Hendon Mob total is real, but it is almost certainly the smaller part of the full financial picture.
