Bodog boots out WSOP champion
In a strange turn of events, Bodog has terminated the membership of WSOP 2006 winner, Jamie Gold.
Bodog.com entered into a deal with Gold before the WSOP in 2006 to sponsor him for the Main Event. After he went on to win it, the online poker room also signed him on as a full member of Team Bodog.
As of today he is no longer a member. Bodog.com released this statement about the matter:
"In light of our decision to cease all offline marketing initiatives in the U.S., and instead refocus our efforts on growing our entertainment brand in Europe and Asia, Bodog has ended our business relationship with Jamie Gold. Bodog has enjoyed its association with Mr. Gold and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors."
However, Bodog.com is continuing to sponsor pro players Josh Arieh, David Williams, and Evelyn Ng who all also reside in the United States.
Gold is the first of the last five winners of the WSOP Main Event to not have a sponsorship from an online poker site.
