In den späten 2000ern veranstaltete Molly Bloom die gefragtesten illegalen Pokerrunden Hollywoods. Alle wollten dabei sein, nur wenige wurden eingeladen. An ihrem Tisch wurden Hunderte Millionen Dollar verloren und gewonnen - von Berühmtheiten wie Leonardo DiCaprio und Ben Affleck ebenso wie von Sportgrößen, Industriebossen, Spitzenpolitikern und Finanzmogulen. Molly lebte wie ihre Kunden: Privatjets, Luxussuiten und auf Du und Du mit der Elite der Traumfabrik Hollywood. Detailreich beschreibt sie eine skandal- und geheimnisumwitterte Welt, zu der Normalsterbliche keinen Zugang haben.

Now a major motion picture, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin and starring Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, and Michael Cera-the true story of "Hollywood´s poker princess" who gambled everything, won big, then lost it all.

When Molly Bloom was a little girl in a small Colorado town, she dreamed of a life without rules and limits, a life where she didn´t have to measure up to anyone or anything-where she could become whatever she wanted.

She ultimately got more than she could have ever bargained for.

In Molly´s Game, she takes you through her adventures running an exclusive high-stakes private poker game catering to such clients as Hollywood royalty like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck, athletes, billionaires, politicians, and financial titans. With rich detail, Molly describes a world of glamour, privilege, and secrecy in which she made millions, lived the high life, and fearlessly took on the Russian and Italian mobs-until she met the one adversary she could not outsmart: the United States government.

It´s the story of how a determined woman gained-and then lost-her place at the table, and of everything she learned about poker, love, and life in the process.
