Jamie Gold

One can love or hate him, but for a magical week in Las Vegas Jamie Gold was the best poker players in the world, and secured a record prize money of $ 12 million. His conduct during of the 2006 WSOP Main Events is still hotly debated. Whether one considers that he was a friend too often one of his hole cards has shown that he or his opponents told exactly what he just keeps on hand. Moreover that although $ 12 million he has won, it is still unclear how much of the money he actually has kept since he and a former friend in a dispute was involved after he allegedly gold 50% of its profits had promised. Despite these criticisms has gold is still in many of the big tournaments and cash games look, and that is always positive and good humored. As the saga of Jamie Gold continues stands in the stars, but as far as he has done is just as interesting as any other poker players.

Each poker player has his own history when it comes to how he came into the game is. Some players began late in the poker games while others were already playing cards before they could run. Gold, as Jamie Usher was born but later the surname of his father, stepmother adopted after his parents separated had definite match in the second category. When Jamie Gold, 25 August 1969 in Kansas City, Missouri on the world came, he was by his poker-playing mother and his grandfather, the Gin Rummy champion was welcomed. Jamie enjoyed the game as a child, although he made it more fun to read and poker to learn than it really to play. Sometime poker then moved more and more into the background while he was working his second big dream to fulfill a Hollywood agent to be.

When most kids were still busy driving to learn, gold started at the age of 16 years, an internship at the J. Michael Bloom & Associates talent agency. After his bachelor at the University of New York at Albany had managed to continue, he studied at the University of California in Los Angeles at closer to Hollywood to be tuned. There, he won his degree in media law.

With just 21 years, he became the youngest agents ever in the Harter Manning Woo Talent Agency has worked. He was the agent for some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Lucy Liu us James Gandolfini. In 2005, gold started its cooperation with one of the most famous faces in poker, Johnny Chan. During this collaboration with Chan began to gold again for the poker games to be interested. Because the two so well understood Chan gave gold a few lessons in poker, as we now know, their effect would not have missed.

Gold began at the Bicycle Casino to play. "The Bike" is one of the best places around the poker games to learn, because it is here only as swarms pros. This seemed the amateur gold but not to worry, and it was not long until his first successes was. In April 2005 he won $ 200 buy-in event and took a prize money of $ 54,225 to take home. During the next year won gold yet another $ 45,000 in 7 different tournaments. Gold seemed at its peak right time to have reached shortly before his first WSOP event began, the 2006 Main Event.

Jamie Gold WSOP To say that gold at the Main Event long front players is an understatement. Although a total of 8,773 participants were, it was the name of Jamie Gold almost throughout the course of the tournament leading the leaderboard. On Day 4 gold had already twice as many chips as his closest pursuer, and at the final table, he was a machine in just seven of his eight rivals transported from the table. When it left the heads-up between him and Paul Wasicka came, the bracelet was profitable almost a must, since gold with a 12:1 Chiplead was in the lead. After a flop of Q 8 ♣ ♥ ♥ 5 went gold with Q-9 all-in and Wasicka called with 10-10. Jamie Gold won the hand and the tournament, but the joy was only short-lived.

Before gold ever come to his money, was his account frozen by a judge as an acquaintance of gold claimed gold owe him half the money. According to Crispin Leyser gold he had half of its profits promised Leyser because it had some Hollywood stars to talk about than Bodog players in the WSOP to play with. Gold flatly denied such an agreement, but a stored message in Leyser's mobile phone showed the accusation. Finally, both agreed out how much gold, but profit from his competence had is unknown.

Since his incredible success has a lot of gold still played, but little gained. His greatest success since the 2006 MainConcept event was the 35te place at the 2007 WSOP Main Event, where he won $ 54,000. It was gold in almost every poker TV show to see, such as "Poker After Dark" and "High Stakes Poker." When the show High Stakes Poker ran it in him anything but good, and he was one or the other time 'gefelted'. For many, this is the proof that Jamie Gold's victory at the 2006 WSOP Main Event mainly thanks to his happiness is. Fortunately or not, it is the dream of every poker player.
