Team Bodog Celebrates Jamie Gold�s WSOP Win

Bodog.com have been partying hard to celebrate the success of their sponsored poker player Jamie Gold who last week won the largest and richest game in poker history, the Main Event of the 2006 World Series of Poker.

After fighting stiff competition from poker pros and eventually winning the tournament and its prestigious 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 realised that if I continued to play my game, I would be very hard to beat. 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.com 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 Bodog.com, where Gold will play frequently, enabling other Bodog players to go up against the WSOP champ.

'Jamie truly epitomizes the Bodog spirit. We are incredibly proud of his achievement and thrilled by his performance in the tournament,' said Calvin Ayre, founder and CEO of Bodog.com. 'This was the most exciting and dominant performance since the WSOP has grown to its current size, fuelled by poker's ever growing popularity.'
