2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship Red Carpet: Jason Alexander is a Good Interview


As George Constanza, Jason Alexander played one of the greatest roles in TV history.

As Jason Alexander, Jason Alexander consistently gives really funny, entertaining interviews.

At NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship red carpet at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas, Alexander reveals that Teri Hatcher is an under-rated celeb poker player.

And when told that Jamie Gold said that he considers Alexander to be one of the better celeb players, he responded that it’s probably because the 2006 WSOP Main Event champ just wants to play him because:

"You know that every agent wants to screw the actor."

WSOP Flashback Forward: Jamie Gold Predicts He’ll Make Final Table at WSOP


Amanda_braunWith the start of the 2007 WSOP Main Event just hours away, we thought now would be a good time to look back at what Jamie Gold told us about his predictions for this year’s WSOP in our exclusive interview with the soon-to-be former World Champion.

Actually it really isn’t a good time for that, or at least not as good of a time as looking at photos of the ridiculously hot Amanda Braun (seen in pic).

But since we brought it up, Gold had the following to say when we asked him for his prediction for this year’s WSOP:

“I know this is the thing you guys are going to kill me on, but I think I’ll make the final table this year. I know you’re gonna slam me on this, but that’s what I believe. If you don’t believe that, then why are you playing?”

Gold also said: “The Main Event is really important to me. My dream would be to stay in Vegas a month and play as much as possible. I’d like to try and win a little bit of money just to say I’ve accomplished something in my second year.”

Gold has cashed twice this year so far for about $14,000.

Is Jamie Gold the Next to ‘Back’ Brandi Hawbaker?


BrandihawbakerHanging with the crew at ThePokerBiz.com as Event #8 broke for dinner, we saw Jamie Gold in his all-too-familiar-from-last-year rapid hallway shuffle to the pisser, sans the bodyguards, with none other than the freaky ass Brandi Hawbaker hot on his heels spreading pestilence on unsuspecting passerbys.

Our penises curiously gazed at the narcissistic, hot-enough-to-bang, flame tosser but thankfully the penises were smart enough to dive for cover as she got closer. They may not look it, but our penises are frickin’ Einsteins . . . that is, if Einstein was known for sensing the herp from a few steps away.

JamiegoldwsopSo what’s up with Brandi Hawbaker and Jamie Gold palling around? Is the 2006 WSOP champ “backing” the former pageant girl? Is she the next member of Team BuzzNation? Will our penises’ curiosities ever get the best of them?

Well, ThePokerBiz.com team of writers have already jumped on the Jamie Gold-Brandi Hawbaker sighting, so read about it there. We on the other hand are busy trying to convince our penises it’s OK to come out now.

Jamie Gold’s Urinal Mint from 2006 WSOP for Sale on eBay for $5,000


UrinalcakeNo shittin’ ya, click here to see for yourself.

Starting bid is $5,000.

And you only have five days to act to be the proud owner of this “ultimate poker collectible” that, according to its auctioner “poker-kitty“, was “used” by 2006 WSOP champion Jamie Gold “just prior to winning the biggest cash prize ($12 million) in all of sports history.”

Poker-kitty, who has a 100% positive feedback rating on eBay and is a 100% douchebag, goes on to say: “The mint in question was acquired (via rubber gloves) from a hotel men’s room attendant (close friend of the family; can’t disclose his name for obvious reasons), immediately bagged and labeled and stored for safe keeping.”

“While this item is DEFINITELY different, that peculiarity and rarity makes it the absolute ultimate piece of poker memorabilia of all time,” says poker-kitty. “Heck, you could even use it as a dealer button if you really wanted to, although I’d strongly suggest washing it first!”

There’s really nothing we can add to this, except that if this person nabs $5,000 for Gold’s piss mint, which is about as likely as it is the real deal, Tao of Poker’s Pauly, who loves to write about the pros he whizzes next to at tournaments, has a whole new income stream, so to speak, available to him to pad his bankroll.

Thanks to Michael T. for the heads-up on this one.
