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.[4] In the 2020 WSOP Online, he won his first bracelet in a $500 No Limit Hold'em Freezout tournament.[5]
