Jamie Gold definitely kept getting lucky as hell. Getting dealt great cards is one thing, but Jamie Gold was fortunate enough to get dealt great cards at [I]great times[/I], which is the ultimate in being lucky in poker. Case in point, when Allen Cunningham makes trip 9s, Jamie makes trip 9s with a better kicker. Twice he was dealt QQ when another player was dealt JJ and they got it all-in before the flop. Basically he made a whole crapload of his chips off of situations that were tailor-made for anyone to profit. A deaf, blind, dumb guy gets paid off on these hands just the same.
 
However, Gold did have a knack for getting the desired reaction out of an opponent, whether it be a fold when he had nothing or a call when he had the nuts. You might have noticed, though, that this never worked on Allen Cunningham, which is one of many reasons I agree that Allen Cunningham played the best and was most deserving. Yes, Wassicka (I think it was) bluffed Cunningham out of a hand when Allen had TT, but I can't blame him for when there were 3 hearts, two aces, and a jack on the board, and Wassicka re-raised Cunningham's raise all-in. It was just an incredibly ballsy, well-timed play by Wassicka. This was one of the few times you'll see Cunningham make a bad read. He really is a great player, and I was rooting for him to take it home for the pros.
