Sam Farha’s Aces vs. Jamie Gold’s Kings

Both Sam Farha and Jamie Gold feel like they’re playing like a genius pre-flop (which I believe they both are, this is superstar poker by both of them, rightfully thinking they have the best hand) - but it’s cold deck for Jamie. From the turn on, Jamie realizes he might be up against AA and he manages to push Sammy off of his game and save some money that was going in anyway.

This is the strength of Jamie Gold. Played this great.

Amongst the onlookers: Barry Greenstein, Doyle Brunson, Antonio Esfandiari, David Benyamine and Cirque Du Soleil owner Guy Laliberté.

Arrogant Jamie Gold?

I hate to see videos of Jamie when he’s acting like this… He’s talking about football (fine), poker (eeuh, not that ok) — but when he talks about the charities he just looks like a total douche… How can someone not know what kind of charity he is there for? He’s basicly saying: “I don’t give a flying *** about the charities, I’m in it for the cash”.

Look, Jamie’s not like this — I hope, but he really should watch his mouth when people are watching… Image-wise, that is. :s

Jamie Gold’s TOP TOP!

Jamie has TOP/TOP!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN I HAVE TOP TOP. I TOLD YOU I HAVE TOP TOP!! People make fun of Jamie because of this hand but I actually think it’s funny, in a panzy-kind of way. :D

The table talk didn’t matter too much in the hand — it was destined to go down like this. Luckily for Jamie, no diamond rolled off. :)

My favorite Jamie Gold photo

This is by far my favorite Jamie Gold photo. Too bad it’s a fake. :D

It’s a Raffles Beverly Hills room merged with a photo of Jamie celebrating his WSOP win.

Jamie Gold, Chip Leader at the Borgata Open

Jamie is the chip leader at the Borgata Open, but he isn’t feeling too healthy after a long night… Not only does he not look focussed here, his talk isn’t the talk of the Jamie I know and love… It seems like for some reason, Jamie was struggling to concentrate on ANYTHING at this point…

Interesting video — well worth the watch. Thanks Pokerwire and Amanda Leatherman for the interview!

Jamie Gold talking about being a cashgame donk

I mean, Jamie Gold being honest. In this game — he was a donk compared to the competition. Jamie needs cashgame practice — and he knows it. He had fun, lost a couple hundred thousand… But he had fun! :D

Jamie and Patrick Antonius do a $750K tango

I like how Jamie played this hand for most of the time. The pre-flop re-raise is a good play — so is the speech. Patrick’s AJ call is logical, but he sure is behind… ;)

He should have bet more than 15k on the flop, as Gabe said — I suggest a $30k bet.

The turn brings disaster for Jamie when he makes his set (and Patrick makes his gutshot) — the raise on the turn by Jamie isn’t unlogical — and the all-in isn’t a bad play…

Luckily for Patrick they ran it 3 times — lucky Jamie! :D

Other players at the table include Doyle Brunson, Antonio Esfandiari, Sammy Farha, David Benyamine and Guy Laliberte.

Shana Hiatt gets JJ & TT, and meets Jamie Gold

Shana gets dealt two great starting hands on the short stack in this Pro-Am Equalizer tournament, and she gets beating out of the TT’s by Jamie’s Aces.

She had no way of escaping. Maybe she should have moved in pre-flop with the jacks, could have saved her an all-in with the tens — but who knows… Jamie’s Jamie, and you’re not folding tens with Q3Q rainbow board I suppose… :)

Jamie Gold on CNBC after winning WSOP 2006

After winning the World Series of Poker main event back in 2006, Jamie is asked to appear on CNBC to talk about an imminent ban on online poker. He’s also asked about his past, a life in Hollywood.

Not the most exciting video footage ever taken, and Jamie does slip up at one point, saying: “I was always honest, and I’m honest at the poker table too —- [silence] —- I just try to trick people now”.

Eeeeuh… right, Jamie…. :)
