Today, he competed against the eight players who remained from a field of 8,773 for an unprecedented first-place prize of $12 million and the coveted gold championship bracelet.
After winning poker’s largest ever tournament and its prestigious WSOP bracelet, an elated Gold said, “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.” He added, “This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my friends and family along with the members of Team Bodog.”
Gold’s two-year endorsement deal with Bodog sports book not only includes the standard tournament buy-ins and promotional appearances, but also a $1-million television production deal. The deal also includes a Jamie Gold table on www Bodog com, where Gold will play frequently, enabling other Bodog sports book players to go up against the WSOP champ.
