He was elimated in 2008 WSOP Main Event by Brian "ZBT" Horton and did not cash.

In 2011, Goldberg's entered the final table in the Borgata Poker Open as second in chips. He eventually finished in fourth place earning $280,925. Controversy erupted when Goldberg confronted eventual winner Bahbak Oboodi's rail, resulting in fans being ejected from the audience.

He was known for bearing a strong resemblance to Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. Since then, Goldberg has cashed in some World Poker Tour events and had some success at the 2007 World Series of Poker. At the 2007 World Series of Poker, he had five cashes and won his first career bracelet in a $1,500 buy-in Mixed Hold'em (Limit/No Limit) championship winning $204,935.

As of 2015, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,400,000. His twelve cashes at the WSOP account for $1,412,891 of those winnings.
