Molly Bloom ran a poker game in New York City and LA that was filled with celebrities and the uber rich. Her story is now becoming a film: Molly’s Game. Molly Bloom, the author of “Molly’s Game,” became famous in celebrity circles for running the most exclusive underground poker game. The stakes were so high she witnessed one man lose $100 million in one night. Following is a transcript of the video.
This game was populated by some of the world’s most famous, wealthiest, and most powerful men. My regular game in New York City was a $250,000 buy-in, no limit. So people were burning through that, a lot of times in the first 30 minutes. I saw someone lose $100 million in one night.
Hi, I’m Molly Bloom. I am the author of “Molly’s Game.” And, I’m here to talk about, I guess, why my life got made into a movie.
So, I moved to Los Angeles. My parents were not on board with that and so I had to get a lot of different jobs.
