Jamie Gold Poker Room Opens at the Tropicana

2006 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Jamie Gold kicked off the opening of the Tropicana poker room, which is named after him, Friday February 17, 2012. 

“This deal with Tropicana covers everything I could have ever wanted in a relationship with a major Las Vegas Strip resort and it will serve as my anchor and the conduit to all of my future poker and philanthropic endeavors,” Gold said in December. “I really couldn’t be more excited!”

Saturday was slated to feature a $500 deep-stack tournament that began at noon. The tournament features one rebuy and one add-on for a maximum of 75 players.
