Molly Bloom formed the most elite high-stakes poker game Hollywood had ever seen she was its mistress, its lion tamer, its agent, and its oxygen. Everyone wanted in, few were invited to the table.
In the late 2000s, Molly Bloom, a twentysomething from Loveland Colorado, ran the highest stakes, most exclusive poker game in existence. Hundreds of millions of dollars were won and lost at her table. Mollys game became the game for those in the know-celebrities, business moguls, and millionaires. Molly staged her games in palatial suites with beautiful views and exquisite amenities. She flew privately, dined at exquisite restaurants, hobnobbed with the heads of Hollywood studios, was courted by handsome leading men, and was privy to the worlds most delicious gossip, until it all came crashing down around her and she lost everything.
Mollys Game is a behind the scenes look at Mollys game, the life she created, the life she lost, and what she learned in the process.
