Jamie Gold Lawsuit

The Legend of Jamie Gold continues to get a lot of press throughout the world and the press he is getting is not at all good. Jamie Gold made a verbal commitment that he would pay 50% of his winnings from the World Series of Poker to Crispin Leyser. Crispin Leyser is a television development executive and an instructor for the World Poker Tour Boot Camp. Crispin believes he should be receiving $6 million dollars because of a brokered deal made between he and Jamie Gold prior to the start of the prestigious Main Event at this years World Series of Poker. This is now in the hands of the Judicial System and there will be no money distributed to either man, until this has been settled.

Jamie Gold's reputation has taken a significant beating since the conclusion of the Main Event and now you have to wonder what else he is hiding. There was a reason why he was considering chip dumping the night before the final table began. He stated that he did not want all the fame that came with winning the World Series, and he would be happy to settle for second place. Now, I am curious as to what else this guy might be hiding from his past that he does not want to get out into the public eye.

Jamie Gold has definitely created a name for himself but it is definitely not for the right reasons. He is obviously a tremendous poker player, but he has some serious skeletons in the closet that will continue to come to the forefront as the days and months go by. Its too bad that people's personal lives become public knowledge once you get famous, but if you bring it on yourself that's your problem. This is one PokerParty you'll have to keep your eye on.
