Jackson Joins the Fray
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Back in April of this year, David Jackson claimed his ninth tournament title and nearly $305,000 when he won the Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship, coming out on top of a field of 505 entrants. That was the second win here at Borgata for the Floridian and beat his previous best live cash of $183,498 (4th place, 2014 WSOP $1,500 NLH) by a mile.
It was not a walk in the park, either. He got heads-up against accomplished poker pro Shannon Shorr with a 6.5:1 chip deficit. A lucky all-in with KQ against a dominated QJ earned him a much-needed double-up and from there he could not be stopped. Shorr had to settle for second and $171,448.
