Jamie Gold Cut from Team Bodog -Bodog cuts all ties to the 2006 Champ January 29, 2007 - by Jim Griffin

 

Bodog.com announced yesterday that they have cut all ties to Jamie Gold. The reason given was he was no longer needed as the company made a decision last month to end all offline Marketing in the USA.

 

Bodog still retains its other team members which are all top USA players. Many in the industry feel Bodog gave the public a polite reason for releasing gold while the real reason was that he did nothing positive for their company image.

 

Jamie is currently being sued for half of his WSOP first place prize. Apparently his staking partner Bruce Crispin Leyser was worried that he might not get his fair share and had a US Distinct Judge freeze the $6 Million he felt he was entitled to.

 

Jamie Gold has never been as popular as past WSOP Main Event Winners and many players are disappointed to not have the champion take on the role as an ambassador to poker which the past champions of recent years have.

 

It will be interesting to see if current Team Bodog members David William, Josh Arieh and Evelyn NG are still contracted by Bodog.com in the coming months.
