About Alan Goehring

  • Alan Goehring (born February 21, 1962) is an American retired junk bond analyst and trader from Henderson, Nevada.
  • At the age of 37, he became a professional poker player. Goehring first made his mark on the poker circuit when he finished in 3rd place in the $3,000 No Limit Hold-Em event at the 1997 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
  • He won $61,845 in the tournament, which was won by Max Stern and also featured Kathy Liebert, Chris Ferguson, Donnacha O'Dea, and Dan Harrington. In 1999, Goehring finished 2nd in the WSOP $10,000 No Limit Hold-Em Main Event to Noel Furlong.
  • He won $768,625 for his efforts.
  • This finish, coupled with several other 2nd-place finishes, including in Bellagio's Inaugural No Limit Hold-Em tournament, earned him a reputation as a player who "could not win the big one." Goehring eventually overcame this status by winning the World Poker Tour (WPT) $25,000 season 1 championship, overcoming Russian newcomer Kirill Gerasimov in the eventual heads-up confrontation to take home a $1,011,886 grand prize.
  • The final table also included Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson and Ted Forrest. Goehring made two final tables in the WPT's 4th season.
  • He finished 6th at the 2005 WPT €10,000 Grand Prix de Paris, eventually won by Roland De Wolfe.
  • He went on to win the LA Poker Classic later in the season, winning a then-WPT record-breaking $2,391,550. Fellow professional Howard Lederer has repeatedly spoken positively about the quality of Goehring's play on his website. As of January 2015, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,220,000.
  • His 6 cashes at the WSOP account for $851,575 of those winnings.
