Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

[Removed:548] raised the button and Santiago Montes shoved from the small blind for just over 20,000,000. When it got back to [Removed:549], he snap-called with a slightly bigger stack.

Santiago Montes: 6♦6♣ All in
[Removed:548]: A♣A♦

[Removed:549] had the bullets and needed them to hold to double up. Montes was seeking a six, but couldn't find it as the K♦9♣7♥A♠4♦ runout meant he was out in 20th.

The SCOTUS Lawyer Who Won $50m Playing Poker—And Got Indicted

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Lyle Bateman

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

For two decades, Tom Goldstein was at the top of the legal world. He argued more cases before the United States Supreme Court than almost any private attorney and founded SCOTUSblog, a legal blog that quickly became the go-to source for Supreme Court analysis. He lectured at Stanford University and Harvard University and regularly appeared on national news programs.

But Goldstein had another life. When he wasn’t arguing before Supreme Court justices, Goldstein was flying to Hollywood or Hong Kong and winning or losing millions in ultra-high-stakes poker matches. He played heads-up against California businessmen and foreign gamblers, at one point allegedly winning over $50 million in just a few sessions.

Goldstein’s luck turned in January 2025 when the US Department of Justice a federal grand jury initiated a 22-count indictment accusing the attorney of failing to report millions in poker winnings and diverting law firm funds to pay his personal poker debts.

In a new PokerNews video essay, we take a look at the life of Tom Goldstein and the high-stakes poker game that led to his federal indictment.
