Fred Goldberg

Fred Goldberg is an American professional poker player from Hollywood, Florida. His first major success came in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, where he finished 10th for 1,154,527 dollars. He finished 48th in a 2008 WSOP 2,000 dollar no-limit hold 'em event for 7,823 dollars and was eliminated from the 2008 Main Event by Brian Horton without cashing. In 2011 he entered the final table of the Borgata Poker Open second in chips and finished fourth for 280,925 dollars, and controversy erupted when he confronted the rail of eventual winner Bahbak Oboodi, resulting in fans being ejected. He was known for bearing a strong resemblance to Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 Main Event champion, and at the 2007 World Series of Poker he had five cashes and won his first career bracelet in a 1,500 dollar Mixed Hold'em event.
