JustinShronk : Jamie, it's been almost two years since your main event win; in a few sentences, what have the last two years been like?
JamieGold : The last few years have been a learning experience for me. I now realize what is most important in life for me, which is my family and friends, giving back, and trying to affect the world in a positive way.
JS: You've done a lot of charity work since winning the Main Event, what draws you to this type of work?
JG: It feels really good to give back. I am in a very fortunate position that I have the time, energy and resources to do it right now. I hope that I can continue to focus on this way of living for the rest of my life. I have recently committed the bulk of my time to the MDA ALS Division, which is the organization that helped my father the most. I am proud to be a celebrity spokesperson for them and will continue to be as intimately involved as possible for years to come.
JS: You won the biggest poker tournament in history. Are there still other goals and things you want to accomplish in poker? Or is everything else gravy at this point?
JG: Of course winning the biggest prize in poker was great, but what I want to accomplish now is away from the poker table. I want to expand the game of poker so it’s legal online everywhere in the world, and I want to work towards raising as much money possible through charity/celebrity poker events to cure fatal diseases such as ALS, Parkinson’s, and MLS.
