    World Series of Poker winner Jamie Gold wins Bodog Tournament

    2006 World Series of Poker Main Event champion and Team Bodog pro Jamie Gold hosted the first BodogFIGHT Celebrity Poker Tournament in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Dec. 2, held in conjunction with the BodogFight: USA vs Russia Pay-Per-View event. The private function saw Gold along with television, film and sport stars compete for a first-place prize that included a stunning Giantto watch. The second place prize was a 2007 WSOP Main Event buy-in while third place was worth a complete Bodog Poker Set, including a custom-made Bodog poker table and a custom Bodog poker chip set.

    The heated tournament was won by none other than Jamie Gold. The second place winner, who will go to next year’s World Series of Poker courtesy of Bodog, is actor Aaron Douglas. Douglas plays Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol on the Sci-Fi Channel's hit show, "Battlestar Galactica." The third place winner was actor Ryan Robbins, who currently stars on the Canadian TV comedy "Alice, I Think."

    Other celebs who attended the poker tourney included Jared Padalecki (Supernatural), UFC champ Phil “The NY Badass” Baroni, Tom Europe (CFL Hall of Famer), Michael Eklund (BloodRayne II: Deliverance, Intelligence), and Woody Jeffries (Blond and Blonder). They were joined at the BodogFIGHT PPV event by Paul McGillion (Stargate: Atlantis), Ty Olsson (Class of the Titans), James Tupper (Men In Trees), and actors Aleks Paunovic, Adrian Holmes, and Aaron Pearl.

    You find the oddest stories related SG/SGA actors. So Paul wasn't playing? Was this filmed for TV? Funny how poker shows have become (kind of) popular these days. I have to say I enjoy playing poker and some of these shows can be entertaining but mostly poker on TV is like watching paint dry.

      They're easy to find. I use Google NEws and use their news alert.

      Anyway, judging from what I read in the article, it was a payperview event, already gone, and I think he played.

      Having gone to a casino and watched people play poker, yes, watching paint dry might be more exciting

        I live near a Casino, and no watching these things is not as interesting as playing but I don't play at the Casino, I like making money not losing it.

        So pay-per-view? People pay for this? Wow, I have only watched the free to air channels. If Paul played, I wonder how long he stayed in the game?

          People will pay to watch pretty near anything. Alas, since they put out the PR after the game was over, don' tknow how long Paul played.
