Bobby Baldwin (born c. 1950)[1] is a professional poker player and casino executive. As a poker player, Baldwin is best known as the winner of the 1978 World Series of Poker Main Event, becoming the youngest Main Event champion at that time.
Baldwin was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma,[2] and attended Oklahoma State University in 1970. He currently resides in Las Vegas.[2]
He married Audra Hendley on August 2, 2012, at their Southern Highlands home.
Poker career[edit]
Baldwin won his first two bracelets at the 1977 World Series of Poker, first winning the $10,000 Deuce to Seven Draw event, then winning the $5,000 Seven Card Stud event.

Baldwin won his largest tournament prize in 1978 when he won the WSOP Main Event, earning the title and the $210,000 first prize. He defeated a final table that included professional poker players Ken Smith, Jesse Alto, Buck Buchanan, WSOP bracelet winner Louis Hunsucker, and businessman Crandall Addington, whom Baldwin defeated in heads-up play.
When Baldwin won the 1978 World Series of Poker Main Event at age 28, he became the youngest winner in its history, to be superseded by Stu Ungar in 1980, Phil Hellmuth in 1989, Peter Eastgate in 2008, and Joe Cada in 2009.
In 1979, he won the $10,000 Deuce to Seven Draw event again, earning his fourth and most recent bracelet at the WSOP. Baldwin also competed in the Super Bowl of Poker tournaments, organized by 1972 world champion Amarillo Slim. Baldwin cashed in several SBOP events and won the $5,000 Seven Card Stud event in 1979.
His major wins include four WSOP bracelets, all won from 1977 to 1979. He won WSOP bracelets in three consecutive years (1977, 1978, and 1979) which only a small number of players have done in the history of the WSOP. In addition to his 1978 victory, Baldwin's other WSOP Main Event cashes are: 1981 (7th), 1986 (16th), 1987 (21st), 1991 (29th), 1992 (15th), 1994 (24th), and 2009 (352nd).
In 2003, Baldwin was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
His last live cash came in the 2012 World Series of Poker in the Big One for One Drop.
Career as casino executive[edit]
In 1982, he became a consultant for the Golden Nugget casino, and in 1984 was named the president. He was selected to head The Mirage in 1987, and was named as the president of the Bellagio hotel and casino in 1998.
In 1999–2000, he was the chief financial officer of Mirage Resorts under Steve Wynn; in 2000, upon the merger of Mirage Resorts and MGM Grand, he became the chief executive officer of the Mirage Resorts subsidiary of MGM Mirage.
In 2005, after the acquisition of Mandalay Resort Group by MGM Mirage, Baldwin became CEO and President of the announced Project City Center, while continuing his responsibilities as CEO of the Mirage Resorts subsidiary. Baldwin now oversees additional resorts added through the Mandalay Resort Group buyout as well as the previous Wynn properties.
In 2018, following a lengthy tenure as Chief Customer Development Officer of MGM Resorts and CEO and President of CityCenter, MGM announced that Baldwin would leave both positions by the end of 2018.[3]
Other interests[edit]
In addition to poker, Baldwin is also known as a world class billiards player. Baldwin and his playing style are the subject of a book entitled Bobby Baldwin's Winning Poker Secrets, which was written by Mike Caro. Baldwin has written many columns on poker and he authored a section for Doyle Brunson's Super/System. His own book Tales Out of Tulsa, a poker guide for novices, was published in 1985.
The high-stakes signature poker room in the Bellagio is named 'Bobby's Room' after Baldwin.
As of 2012, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,300,000.[4] His 20 cashes at the WSOP account for $2,100,311 of those winnings.[5]

One of the most famous high-stakes poker rooms in the world recently underwent a name change.
The high-stakes area of the Bellagio poker room on the Las Vegas Strip, known to poker fans as “Bobby’s Room,” has been renamed “Legends Room.”
Since its inception, Bobby’s Room has been home to some of the biggest poker games on the planet. The game usually featured a mix with limits of at least $400-$800, but during the World Series of Poker, games are generally much larger, with limits of $1,000-$2,000 and up. At the time of this article’s publishing, there was a $2,500-$5,000 big bet mix game running in the room.
The room was named after 1978 WSOP main event champion Bobby Baldwin. The Oklahoma-native and four-time WSOP bracelet winner stayed in Las Vegas after winning the main event at 28 years old and forged a successful career in the casino industry.
In 1982, Baldwin was hired as a consultant for the Golden Nugget and became president of the property just two years later. Steve Wynn hired him to be the president of The Mirage in 1987 and he was also the Chief Financial Officer of Mirage Resorts, which eventually became MGM Resorts following a merger. He became president of the Bellagio in the late 1990s.
Towards the end of 2018, Baldwin announced he was leaving his position with MGM Resorts as Chief Customer Development Officer of MGM and CEO and President of CityCenter.
About a year ago, it was announced that Baldwin will be the CEO of the Drew Las Vegas, which is scheduled to open in 2022.
As successful as he was in the boardroom, Baldwin was just as successful on the felt. He won two WSOP bracelets in no-limit 2-7 single draw and a seven-card stud title, along with his main event bracelet. His last cash came in 2012 with a seventh-place finish in the $1 million buy-in Big One For One Drop. He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2003.

Bellagio originally said that the room would remain in his name, despite his departure from MGM, but that changed last month with the renaming. The move went under the radar as the COVID-19 pandemic, the passing of Mike Sexton, the Doug Polk-Daniel Negreanu heads-up match, and the announcement of a hybrid WSOP in December took most of the poker community’s focus.

In 2010, as Aria’s poker room gained popularity among the high-stakes community, the fellow MGM-owned property debuted its high-stakes area, which was named after poker legend Phil Ivey. “Ivey’s Room” tended to attract the highest-stakes no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha games, while limit mixed games stayed at Bellagio.
Ivey’s Room was later changed to “Table 1” in February 2019. Aria’s decision came shortly after a federal judge gave Borgata Hotel and Casino approval to go after Ivey’s assets in Nevada to collect the $10.16 million he owed the casino from a lawsuit of his infamous baccarat session.
Ivey eventually settled with the MGM-owned Atlantic City casino last July.
