Jamie Gold on Paradise: "It's a $100,000 Trip, Minimum"
On a break in the $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty, 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold spoke to PokerNews.
Gold admitted his Day 1a has been a rollercoaster so far.
"Some very generous players are trying to give me all their chips!" he said. "They keep calling with two outers and hitting. I just keep building it back, only for it to happen again! I'm running terribly, but somehow I'm still on the first bullet."
Despite Triton events underway at neighboring tables, Gold says he's focused on the job at hand in the WSOP Circuit Championship.
"If I was coming for [Triton events] then I would be itching to play them while I'm playing the smaller ones. But the Main Event doesn't start until the 10th, so this is the best event for me for now."
Now on his third visit to WSOP Paradise, Gold says he's looking forward to the $25,000 Super Main Event and hoping for a deep run.
"That's the biggest buy-in event I'm playing here. And with re-entry it can easily end up $75,000. It's a $100,000 trip minimum, depending on how you do!"
