Poker star joins Aced.com
23rd February, 2009
The WSOP is seen by many as the most prestigious poker tournament on the globe. Thousands of poker enthusiasts from around the world travel to Las Vegas every year hoping to win a share of the huge main event pot.
The WSOP is so large, the top 600 placed players win some share of the pot. In 2006, Jamie Gold won the main event surprising many, as he stormed to victory taking home a huge $12,000,000 pot.
Since his emphatic win three years ago, Gold has featured in several high profile poker tournaments and events. He has recently also signed a deal with new online poker site Aced.com.
Aced.com is one of the most recent internet poker operators to join the market, and Gold will be playing exclusively at their site as part of the deal.
Brandon Berndt, Poker Room manager for Aced.com. “We are extremely excited to have Jamie on board, not only because of his obvious value as an ambassador for us within the poker world but for the unparalleled enthusiasm, insight and creativity he brings to the ongoing development of our brand.”
Berndt continued to say, "He could have chosen so many other sites but we share his values and vision. He is worth every penny, or billion pennies."
Gold who has used his high profile, to raise millions for Charity, choose Aced.com largely due because of its previous work with charitable organizations.
He said in a statement, "I'm really proud of the example we, as a poker community, are setting."
