Jamie Gold Poker Fan

amie Gold has secured the seven rank in the list of the World Poker Main Event Champions list. Last week I took the opportunity to establish a set of criteria in the attempt to rank the past eight World Series of Poker Main Event Champions as poker ambassadors. If you haven’t done so already, check out Part I for the full story. In the meantime, here is a quick look at the criteria established in that article.

* He should cater to the numerous media requests and conducted himself properly while presenting the game in a positive manner.

Jamie Gold is set to host a poker tournament along with Aces and Angels. The festivities will be filmed for an upcoming episode of Simmons’ hit show.

In addition to the evening’s concert, Aces and Angels, along with world-famous card players Jamie Gold, Scotty Nguyen and Kenna James, will host The Texas State Poker Tournament (prize package worth $100,000).

Up to 600 ticketholders may enter the Texas State Tournament at no charge, and the Texas Shoot-Out style games begin at 11 a.m.

Jamie Gold's defeat at the hands of Paul Wasicka still stands as one of the most surprising defeats in his history. Jamie Gold had a huge chip lead ($64 million) on his two remaining competitors Paul Wasicka ($14 million) and Michael Binger ($11 million) before this memorable hand. After Gold limped on the button with 4s-3c, Wasicka completed with 8s-7s from the small blind. Binger tried to spoil the party by raising to $1.5 million, but both players called the raise to see a three-handed flop.

Jamie Gold is set to take part in a charity tournament for the benefit of a foundation. For this December 11, generous fans of this game will compete on tables of No-Limit Hold'em of $ 540 buy-in with possibility of $ 200 rebuys during the first 90 minutes of play. The half of the money raised will be allocated to the foundation while half will be reserved for the tournament.

Nancy Cartwright has announced the 5th Annual Monte Carlo Night. Pros who continue to be fans of the event include Annie Duke, Barbara Enright, Jamie Gold (WSOP Main Event Winner) Jennifer Harman, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Todd Brunson, Marsha Waggoner and many more. Mary Jones will conduct her popular Texas Hold 'Em “boot camp” and actor/singer Dorian Harewood will be holding Black Jack lessons.

Jamie Gold remains the all-time money leader in the 41-year history of the World Series of Poker. The winner of the 2010 main event will receive more than $8.9 million — a mammoth figure no doubt, but still just 75 percent of what Jamie Gold received when he won the 2006 main event, which remains the largest field the World Series has even seen. Despite that recognition, the 2006 champ has not been a fixture on the poker scene the past few years, choosing to spend much of his time away from the poker tables.

The biggest World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event cash winner ever, Jamie Gold, is already out of this year's WSOP. It only took a matter of hours.

In 2006, Gold won a whopping $12 million and some change. Gold's win did not come without controversy. In fact, it took some time to receive his funds.

Gold has had his fair share of gifts in return for private Poker lessons, and is loved on the circuit.

Last year Joe Cada took eight and half million dollars away from the table at the World Series of Poker Main Event. Joe played 16 events in all, and his Main Event haul is the third highest WSOP winnings ever, following Jamie Gold’s $12 million and Peter Eastgate’s take of $9 million. This year, according to news reports, Joe intends to play in twenty events, and he is aiming to defend his Main Event bracelet.

Aced.com is a smaller poker room on the Merge Gaming Network that opened in August 2008 and rumor has it they are closing up May 7, 2010. I think if we looked closely, we would of saw this coming. Aced Poker did no real advertising and just seemed really stagnant.

Aced signed Poker pro and WSOP winner Jamie Gold back in February 2009. A few months later that partnership disintegrated as Jamie allegations of slow and non payments. Aced Poker would not make a statement about it and they quietly parted ways.

2006 World Series of Poker Main Event champion and Team Bodog pro Jamie Gold hosted the first BodogFIGHT Celebrity Poker Tournament in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Dec. 2, held in conjunction with the BodogFight: USA vs Russia Pay-Per-View event. The private function saw Gold along with television, film and sport stars compete for a first-place prize that included a stunning Giantto watch. The second place prize was a 2007 WSOP Main Event buy-in while third place was worth a complete Bodog Poker Set, including a custom-made Bodog poker table and a custom Bodog poker chip set.
