| Jamie Gold signs with Poker Icons |
Press release 05.11.2009
37th Annual World Series of Poker Champion Jamie Gold has joined the
rapidly growing agency Poker Icons. Already representing some of the
most successful poker players in the industry, Poker Icons are thrilled
about the newfound partnership with the World Champion. |

Since his glorious triumph in 2006, the showbiz whiz kid Jamie Gold
has been a huge name in the poker press, TV shows and on the live poker
scene all around the globe. Jamie was a well known talent agent long
before he won the $12 million, and now he has teamed up with one of the
largest poker agencies in the world. Sean Fredericks will continue
working as his personal manager.
"I’m very excited
about joining Poker Icons. Their international presence and expertise
in poker makes this relationship fit perfectly. I’m really looking
forward to this partnership.” says Gold.
Jamie has always taken an active interest in charity work, and his
background and experience with show business has made him the perfect
host in several charity events, for example the Sunflower Children
Charity Poker Tournament. This year, as his first event teamed up with
Poker Icons, he will be taking his involvement with the Sunflower
Children one step further.
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the Wilhelm & Karl Maybach
Foundation and the Sunflower Children Foundation will join forces to
host this celebrity poker night to raise money for their charitable
projects, and Jamie Gold will be the main attraction. On May 17 this
charity poker tournament, sponsored by Everest Poker, will fill up with
famous politicians, actors, sport stars and businessmen, and the lucky
winner will not only get a ticket to Vegas and the World Series, but
also get private and personal coaching from Jamie.
Jamie is very excited about his upcoming project: “Charity work is so close to my heart, and I’m blessed to be able to make a difference in combination with my poker career.”
