Nine years ago, Jamie Gold was on top of the poker world. Whether you were entertained or annoyed by his table-talking antics, there's no denying Gold's victory in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event was impressive. Not only did he hold onto the chip lead from Day 4 onward, he eliminated seven of his eight opponents at the final table, which included Paul Wasicka, Michael Binger, and Allen Cunningham.
Gold has returned to the Rio numerous times over the years, but his appearances at the WSOP are sporadic and commonly around the Main Event.
