Online gambling fans have been glued to their computers this week to get the latest information about the World Series of Poker Main Event standings. Well, the wait to see who wins is over. Winning the 2006 WSOP Main Event was none other than Jaime Gold.
Some of our online gambling news article readers may know him as one of Bodog.com’s sponsored players. Whether you have ever heard of him or not, he just became the winner of the largest and most profitable WSOP event of all time. His ability to play seriously intense and very well plotted out poker landed him at the final table where he continued to play some of the most exciting poker seen anywhere ever.
Leading the pack of hard-core players for the last 4 rounds of game play, as chip leader he made very few errors. The 4 final rounds of game play lasted nearly one entire week and online gambling fans as well as poker players from all over the world were excited to hear of such an incredible event.
Not only an excellent poker player, Gold has also had a career in Hollywood as an agent before he moved on to producing TV shows. Hailing from Malibu, California, this WSOP champ came out swinging and held the chip lead within the first eight days of the event and never let it go.
Once he made it to the final table, he was already holding more than $26.6 million in chips. This is staggering enough especially since the next player in line had almost $9 million less in chips. This massive lead kept him great position but his player skills kept it.

As we already mentioned, Gold was a Bodog.com online gambling site player who had his ten thousand dollar buy in posted by the popular online gambling website and casino. Winning the event today, he obliterated the other 8 players sitting at the final table with him in nearly 14 hours of grueling poker play.
All in all, this year’s event had 8,773 players and the top prize was a record breaker. For playing until the end, Gold won his first WSOP gold bracelet and earned $12 million
After the event was over, he admitted that he believed his game started out rough but once he was in control there was no turning back.
He endorses Bodog,com and has a 2 year deal with the well-known online gambling site. With this deal he not only plays in many events but he also has a $1million TV production contract.
