“Poker princess” Molly Bloom pleaded guilty in Manhattan court Thursday to being a major player in an illegal $100 million high-stakes gambling ring that catered to A-list celebs such as Leonardo DiCaprio and A-Rod.
Bloom, the sexy 35-year-old sister of Olympic skier Jeremy Bloom, was well-known for hosting under-the–radar games for players such as DiCaprio, Alex Rodriquez and Tobey Maguire, as well as deep-pocketed Wall Street financiers.
She admitted in Manhattan Federal Court to moving the poker games from Los Angeles to Manhattan in 2010 and running them out of two swanky hotels here.
Bloom had been facing five years behind bars. But under her plea deal with the feds, she is now set to get anywhere from probation to six months in prison when sentenced April 30.
She also agreed to forfeit $125,000 — part of the dough she collected from poker players.
Bloom said she knew she was breaking the law but didn’t realize it was a big deal.
“I thought I was committing a misdemeanor,” she told Judge Jesse Furman.
Bloom was indicted in April along with 33 others, including reputed Russian mobsters and wealthy Manhattan art dealer and notorious art-scion playboy Hillel “Helly” Nahmad.
Nahmad pleaded guilty to federal gambling charges in November and is awaiting sentencing.
