Poker Icons, a well known International poker agency which represents top players like Juha Helppi, Annette Obrestad and JJ Liu, gained an impressive new client recently, when the 37th Annual World Series of Poker Main Event champion, Jamie Gold, decided to sign with the company, according to a recent press release.

Gold, known by many for his $12 million dollar cash in the Main Event as well as for his fondness for bluffing, has been dedicating much of his time to charity work as of late and will take full advantage of working with Poker Icons and their unique global position, to further those pursuits.

"I'm very excited about joining Poker Icons.  Their international presence and expertise in poker makes this relationship fit perfectly. I'm really looking forward to this partnership." -Jamie Gold

Jamie's first major charity event as a client with Poker Icons will be for the Sunflower Children Foundation, as he co-hosts a special charity poker tournament sponsored by Everest Poker, with film star Edward Norton.  The event is set to take place during the world famous Cannes Film Festival on May 17th.
