When I was covering the WSOP championship, the PR guys at BoDog put out a bio sheet for Jamie Gold. They highlighted that he was a former TV producer who also was a manager and agent. His clients included James Gandolfini and Felictity Huffman.
According to Defamer.com, Jamie Gold lied about his work in Hollywood. He was nothing more than a glorified assistant and his biggest client to date was porn star Ron Jeremy not Tony Soprano. Gold also claimed that the character Ari Gold on HBO's series Entourage was based on his exploits, when in fact they were centered around super-agent Ari Emanuel.
Also, Jame Gold inked a two year sponsorship deal with BoDog.
"Jamie truly epitomizes the Bodog spirit. We are incredibly proud of his achievement and thrilled by his performance in the tournament," said Bodog CEO Calvin Ayre.
