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). [1] 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. [2]

Goehring eventually overcame this status by winning the World Poker Tour (WPT) $25,000 season 1 championship, overcoming Russian player Kirill Gerasimov in the eventual heads-up confrontation to take home a $1,011,886 grand prize. [3] 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. [4] In the 2020 WSOP Online, he won his first bracelet in a $500 No Limit Hold'em Freezout tournament. [5]

As of 2023, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,300,000. [6] His 6 cashes at the WSOP account for $851,575 of those winnings. [7]
