As a teenager, Robl discovered poker by watching ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker. He started playing the game with his friends, and in online cash games, despite being underage at the time. During the summer between his senior year in high school and freshman year in college, he made between $70,000 and $80,000 playing online poker.[2] At the age of 21, he moved to Las Vegas to pursue a career in poker.[3]
