Jamie Gold is Rebuilding
Niveau 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
The player under the gun raised to 925 and got calls from both the player in the small blind and Jamie Gold, in the big blind.
The flop came 
, and all three players checked to the 
on the turn. Action checked around again, and the dealer put out the 
on the river. The small blind checked, and Gold bet 2,000. The under-the-gun player thought for a moment and eventually called. The small blind quickly called, also.
"I have a straight", said Gold, tabling 
. Both of his opponents mucked, and Gold raked in the pot. He had apparently lost a big pot earlier, but he has rebuilt to half the starting stack now.
Gold has been fairly quiet on the tournament scene of late, with just one cash in 2016 and none in 2017 so far. Despite his lone cash in 2016, it was certainly a good one. He finished as the runner-up in the 2016 WSOP $1,675 Circuit Main Event at The Bicycle Casino for $139,820, losing to Antonio Esfandiari in an epic battle heads-up.
Of Gold's $12,586,358 in lifetime earnings, $12 million of that came from his 2006 WSOP Main Event win, defeating Paul Wasicka for the title. That win earned him the lion's share of in the largest live poker tournament prize pool in history, totaling $82,512,162, with 8,773 unique entries at $10,000 a piece.
Keep following along as Gold continues to progress toward what would be another major title 11 years after his last.
