Best Smiles in Poker

Kaelaine Minton

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

David Jackson and Shawn Cunix are seated next to each other and have a couple of the best smiles in poker. Jackson won two Borgata Open Championship titles last year (Spring and Fall) and also won two events during the Fall Poker Open (Saturday Series and Championship). He's the only player in Borgata history to accomplish both of those things!

Shawn Cunix is a rare sight at Borgata, only flying in for the big events, but no matter where he is or what he's doing, he's always got a smile on his face, win or lose, but more than $2.2 million in tournament earnings helps. His goal is to Inspire Happiness (www.inspirehappiness.com) wherever he goes.
