The Commerce Casino & Hotel has announced Jamie Gold as the Team Captain/Coach for The Commerce Casino & Hotel’s very own professional poker team for the upcoming WSOP 2023/2024 circuit in Los Angeles, as well as the 100 million dollar WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas this July. Gold, an iconic figure in the world of poker, brings his legendary expertise and wisdom to lead the team to victory.

His strategic prowess and relentless aggression at the poker table soon caught the attention of the world including outlets such as ESPN and Forbes to name a few.

As an ambassador he has hosted, emceed and worked closely with 360 major celebrity charity events to date for some of the most impactful world leaders and icons. Gold has helped to raise and donate over 600 million dollars for causes worldwide with a special commitment to ALS in memory of his father Dr. Robert Gold who passed away from the disease.

Prior to his illustrious poker career, Gold ran an entertainment company representing talent such as Jimmy Fallon, James Gandolfini, Donnie Wahlberg, Brandy and Ray J, Felicity Huffman, Jeffrey Wright and more.

Jamie is recognized by over 200 million poker players and gamers worldwide. It was in 2006 when he etched his name into poker history by clinching the prestigious World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event title. With a staggering 8773 entrants, an $87,000,000 prize pool and a first place prize of $12,000,000, it was the largest in the history of the WSOP Main Event until 2023. Gold’s remarkable victory was characterized by his distinctive habit of consuming blueberries at the final table, his strategic brilliance and his engaging table talk, which captivated audiences worldwide.

Since his historic triumph, Jamie Gold has continued to leave his mark on the poker landscape, with multiple recent cashes at the WSOP. Despite the passage of time, Gold remains a revered figure in the poker community, admired for his enduring contributions to the game.

This historic partnership between The Commerce Casino & Hotel and the WSOP is poised to revolutionize the poker landscape, establishing new benchmarks of excellence and innovation for years to come.

“Thirty years ago, my journey into the world of poker commenced at The Commerce Casino & Hotel. It holds a special place in my heart as the first casino where I ever played, and where I clinched my inaugural tournament victory, long before records were kept. My legend was born at The Commerce and my public legend was born at The World Series of Poker. Now, as The World Series of Poker joins hands with The Commerce Casino & Hotel, it feels like the merging of two pivotal chapters of my life. A real dream come true,” said Jamie Gold.

Gold added: “Stepping into the role of team captain for The Commerce Casino’s professional poker team fills me with a profound sense of honor and excitement. It’s not merely a duty, but a privilege to guide and mentor such a talented group of players. Together, we’ll fuse our strategic prowess, refined skills, and unwavering passion for the game to make an impact at the tables.”

BETER, the in-demand provider of fast-betting content, data, and live streaming for esports and sports, has strengthened its team with the appointment of Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager.

Juliana, a seasoned business development specialist based in Brazil, has extensive experience in the Latin American iGaming industry. She has previously held various business development positions at Better Collective, Endorphina, Salsa Technology, and other companies. Her expertise was recognized by the G&M News platform, which included her in its Top 5 Women in the Industry 2024 list—highlighting women making significant contributions to the growth of iGaming in the region.

In her new role at BETER, she will drive the company’s expansion across Latin America, forging new partnerships with regional operators and aggregators, particularly in Brazil, where demand for BETER’s content continues to grow.

She will also drive BETER into new LatAm markets where the provider does not currently have a presence while managing relationships with existing partners to ensure they get the most out of the provider’s next-gen content offering.

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Latin America is a fast-moving market with opportunities opening up all the time. To capitalize on these, we need an exceptional specialist, and in Juliana, we have found exactly that. Her expertise and deep market knowledge make her a valuable addition to our team.

“We are already experiencing strong demand for our fast-betting products and solutions across the region. With Juliana on board, we can further identify key operators that would benefit from partnering with us, driving even greater growth.

“I’m delighted to welcome Juliana to the BETER team.”

Juliana Querino commented: “Fast-betting content has become essential for operators in Latin America and beyond, and I’m thrilled to join BETER in expanding awareness of its award-winning portfolio.
