Jamie Gold Rumors

The rumors continue to swirl about the latest World Series of Poker Champion, Jamie Gold. The latest of a long list has him admitting to collusion during the Main Event. Here is a quote from him taken from Bluff Magazine:

"So every day I'd come to the table and everyone would freak out, and there'd be this guy sitting next to me who was practically in tears because he knew [he] could never raise a hand. So I said, "No, listen, think about it like this: No one can raise you, because they're raising me after you. You're in a great spot, and here's the deal. In return for this protection, every time I tell you to lay down your hand, you lay down your hand. And they all said okay. So I would look at my cards before the guy to my right, and then I'd say, "OK, you're cool; proceed..." or "Nope. Lay it down."

The more that comes out about Jamie Gold the shadier this guy looks. Does poker really want a guy like this being the WSOP champion. I'm sure this is not the last of the negative information we will be hearing about Jamie Gold. Looks like his PokerParty is just getting started.
