Jamie Gold, the 2006 World Series of Poker champion, finds himself once again in a prime position to take down a title. For Gold's first post-WSOP appearance, he chose a tournament situated on a beautiful chain of islands known as Turks and Caicos Islands and located 573 miles southeast of Miami. This exclusive tournament has attracted some of poker's biggest names.

Joining Gold in the competition were featured TCI tournament star Johnny Chan, Gold's fellow Bodog teammate David Williams, poker's would-be rookie of the year, Jeff Madsen, Carlos "The Matador" Mortenson, Amir Vahedi, Ian Frazer, and David "Devil Fish" Ulliot. Only Chan and Madsen made it to today's starting field of 30 players.

Despite the lush surroundings, Gold has managed to stay focused and take on all challengers. Continuing his regimen of blueberries and highly aggressive play, Gold has successfully navigated the field and positioned himself to win his second tournament in a row.
