Jamie Gold is many things, world champion, poker ambassador, and a former Hollywood agent. With his many accomplishments, perhaps the best word that describes Jamie is “Philanthropist.”
In 2006 Jamie bested a field of 8,772 players and won the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event for a colossal $12,000,000. A prize that amounts to more than winning the Indy 500, Wimbledon, PGA Masters and the Kentucky Derby combined. The grueling hours he played, 15 hours a day for 10 days straight, were referred to by ESPN as: “One of the most dominant performances in sports history.”
Since that history making moment, Jamie has devoted his time and energy to helping those in need. Widely referred to as ‘The Poker Philanthropist,’ he has attended, co-hosted or emceed over 100 charity events since becoming the world champion, helping to raise more than $170 million for causes around the world. He also launched www.freegoldpoker.com , a free poker site in which users can win up to $100,000 in cash and prizes per month. Gold donates 10% of ad revenues to various charities.
Splitting his time between his home in California and Las Vegas, Jamie is the ambassador for the aptly named Jamie Gold Poker Room at the New Tropicana Casino in Las Vegas. He believes in passing on his wealth of knowledge to players from all walks of life, holding regular seminars and playing in smaller games with his fans.
Look for Jamie at the New Tropicana Casino and say hello to a world champion and all around terrific ambassador for the game of poker.

Jamie was honored to unveil an original painting by renowned sports artist, Dave Hobrecht. Rendered in black, white and gray pastels, the images of sports legends mounted on smooth wooden boards by Dave Hobrecht are detailed enough to be mistaken for photographs. Dave captured the moment that Jamie won the 2006 WSOP Main Event and presented it to Jamie in recognition of the work Jamie has done throughout the world of sports, bridging charity work and his craft seamlessly.

“…poker players are unbelievably charitable. It is incredible. It is very difficult to find a poker pro who doesn’t give back, and this is unusual in today’s business world. I’m so impressed by that. I can’t remember the last time anyone has said ‘no’ to me when I called them to participate in an event”
“Perhaps the most accurate nickname for him is The Poker Philanthropist as he has been dubbed by several pros and members of the media, thanks to his charitable endeavors.”
