2006 WSOP WINNER JAMIE GOLD
Jamie M. Gold (born August 25, 1969) is a former talent agent turned television producer and poker tournament player, based in Malibu, California. He is the reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion.
Gold was born in New York City, and raised in Paramus, New Jersey, where he graduated from Paramus High School. He later earned a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Albany, and studied entertainment law at UCLA. Gold's mother Jane was a keen poker player, and his grandfather was a champion gin rummy player. Gold began working with former WSOP main event winners Johnny Chan and Chris Moneymaker on an upcoming television show, and Chan began to mentor Gold in poker.
In 2005, Gold began regularly playing poker tournaments. In April 2005 at the Bicycle Casino, he won his first major no limit Texas hold 'em tournament, earning $54,225. Over the next twelve months, Gold had seven more in the money finishes in California tournaments. Gold is a member of Team Bodog.
Gold has confirmed that despite his poker success, he will continue to work his regular job, and just play poker in his spare-time.
At the 2006 WSOP, Gold maintained a significant chip lead from Day 4 onwards to win the World Series of Poker Main Event (no limit, Texas hold 'em, $10,000 buy-in), outlasting 8,772 other players. Excluding 4th place finisher Allen Cunningham, Gold had more casino tournament final table finishes than the rest of his final table opponents combined. He defeated Paul Wasicka heads-up, earning a record $12,000,000 when in the final hand his Q 9 made a pair with the board of Q 8 5. (Wasicka's 10 10 was unable to improve on the A turn and 4 river cards.)
As a result of the WSOP win, Gold's total live tournament winnings exceed a record $12,000,000, and he became the first person to eclipse the $10,000,000 mark in tournament poker.
