Jamie M. Gold (born August 25, 1969)[1] is an American television producer, talent agent, and poker player, based in Malibu, California.

Gold was born in Kansas City, Missouri, as Jamie M. Usher and moved to Manhattan as a young child with his mother.

[citation needed] In 2014, Jamie Gold was part of the launch of the "Island Breeze", a refurbished ship turned into a casino off the coast of Palm Beach, USA.

[8] Allowing himself to be auctioned off, making special appearances, or by purchasing buy-ins, Gold has been involved with a wide variety of causes,[9] including WSOP "Ante Up For Africa",[10] Annie Duke's charity poker tournament,[11] and a few others.

[12][13][14] He has also mentioned in several recent interviews his plans to create a charity poker tournament to benefit people affected with Lou Gehrig's disease.

While many pros criticized Gold's play in the later stages of the tournament, Ferguson urged him to stick with his own perfected style as he progressed deep into the money.

If they reraised him, he either knew they were holding the nuts and folded, or he sniffed out a bluff and forced them all in," thus "he transformed this strategy into an art form.

"[18] 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.

[16] Gold's WSOP win was marked by an uncanny ability to goad his opponents into either calling his bets when he had an unbeatable hand or folding to him when he was weak.

[20] Gold's "table talk", though both an asset and a source of criticism for his tendency to tell opponents his actual hand during play, was contrary to WSOP rules.

[27] Gold did a radio interview on Rounders the Poker Show[28] following his Main Event win where he mentioned his deal with Leyser.

On January 25, 2007, Bodog ended their business relationship with Gold, citing their decision to cease all offline marketing initiatives in the U.S., and instead refocus their efforts on growing their entertainment brand in Europe and Asia.
