Molly’s Game<\/strong>, released in 2017<\/p>\n

Molly Bloom was a professional skier until she had an accident. Then she stumbled into the world of big-money poker played by the rich and famous. After assisting at a few games, she started running her own game. And after running games for years, she was arrested by the FBI.<\/p>\n
