LOL, true. When a tournament has thousands and thousands of people in it, there's no doubt you need a huge amount of luck to go along with some solid skills in order to win the whole shebang, even at two hours per level.
Gold was also skirting the rules as well-—doing things like exposing hole cards while a hand was in progress, talking about what he had while a player was making a decision, he’s very lucky another player didn’t call him out on any of his antics or else he probably isn’t a multi-millionaire right now.
His performances on NBC’s late night show “Poker After Dark” exposes just how mediocre of a no limit player Gold really is.
