Internet Gambling Casino Online up-to-date article named Jamie Gold Takes Gambling Title as Winner of 2006 WSOP

Sponsored by one of the leading gambling companies on the Internet, Bodog’s very own Jamie Gold has won the 2006 World Series of Poker. In an unprecedented win, Gold was the chip leader for the final four rounds of the Main Event, which lasted a total of a week. Gold, a former Hollywood agent turned television producer from Malibu, California, amassed a commanding chip lead during the first eight days of the tournament and sat down at the final table with a massive US 26,650,000 dollars in chips – US 8.88 million dollars more than his nearest gambling competitor.

So what did Mr. Jamie Gold have to say about his huge win? ‘I can't believe it, I am very happy. It started off tough, but once I felt in control, I realized that if I continued to play my game, I would be very hard to beat. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of my friends and family along with the members of Team Bodog.’ It seems the support, encouragement and endorsement of Gold by the gambling site is what gave him that unbeatable edge. He has truly shown the world that gambling and poker can not only be a real art form, but also a professional career for a select few.

Gold grew up in a family of gambling card players, with his mother a longtime poker player and his grandfather a gin rummy champion. The WSOP winner plays nearly 40 hours a week in LA card rooms and earned just under US 100,000 dollars in tournament winnings 15 months prior to the WSOP Main Event. And Gold also had the opportunity to learn from one of the gambling game's best – 10 - time WSOP bracelet holder Johnny Chan. While working together on a poker television project, the two men met. In exchange for Gold's assistance, Chan promised to help Gold polish his game. Both Gold's mother and Chan were at the WSOP, rooting for him.
