Gaubert has developed a reputation as one of the best online players in the world. In 2007, he chopped the Sunday Million tournament on PokerStars for $233,152. The same day, he finished second in the Sunday Mulligan (a supplemental tournament to the larger and more heavily advertised Sunday Million) for $178,000.

2008 WSOP Main Event
The 2008 World Series of Poker saw Gaubert make his first deep run in the Main Event. He finished 58th out of 6,844 participants for a $115,800 payday. Rather than using his clothing as advertising space for sponsors, he delighted his best friend, Michael Castelli, and fans by wearing a bright yellow "LSU" cap throughout his main event run.
2009 World Poker Open
Gaubert claimed his first major live tournament victory at the 2009 World Poker Open in Robinsonville, Mississippi. He defeated a final table that included 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Chris Moneymaker and noted professional player Chad Brown. In the final hand, Gaubert's pocket aces held up to beat his opponent's top pair of tens to win the tournament and $192,953.
Personal life
