At the age of 21, he moved to Las Vegas to pursue a profession in poker. In 2008, Andrew Robl appeared on season 4 on the classic poker TV show Poker After Dark on NBC. In 2013, he won the Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge for $1,055,699. Robl infamously lost a televised $532,000 hand of poker to Toby Lewis after his quad nines lost to quad queens. As of 2021, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,800,000. That sum was accumulated by cashing in 35 different events over the course of 12 years.
