England's Edward "Ted" Jackson-Spivack flew over 5,200 miles for the 2025 Chainsaw Mixed Series of Poker (CMSOP) in Las Vegas and has made the most of the series. Just a few days after winning the $600 Limit T.O.R.S.E., Jackson-Spivack took down the $1,100 Omaha 8 or Better Championship for $18,411.
It was no easy path to victory as Jackson-Spivack conquered 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year Jeff Madsen during heads-up play, while the final table also included 2023 GPI Mid-Major POY Nick Pupillo (6th - $3,354) and Los Angeles mixed game crusher Shirley Rosario (3rd - $7,808).
“I’ve played with him (Madsen) a bunch. I usually get the better of him," Jackson-Spivack told PokerNews in a winner's interview. "I guess I tried to get better cards against him today, for the most part.”

Flying from England for Mixed Games
The two-day event at Planet Hollywood drew 62 runners for a prize pool of $60,760 and saw 12 players return for Day 2. Nathan Dewitt was the first to go before Joshua Chudnovsky's elimination on the money bubble as his flopped pair of kings couldn't pull ahead of Adam Walter's aces.
Bracelet winner and World Poker Tour (WPT) champion Tyler Patterson was the first to go in the money to form the nine-handed unofficial final table.
Despite being a split-pot game, the high limits meant quick play and the event quickly reached its last few players.
Pupillo ran up a short stack at the final table and also did so earlier in the tournament. CMSOP founder Allen Kessler told PokerNews that Pupillo had been down to his final 8,000 on Day 1 before ultimately bagging 186,000. But the 2023 GPI Mid-Major POY couldn't keep the momentum going as his set of kings was crushed by the Broadway of Jackson-Spivack.
Madsen, a regular in the Las Vegas mixed games scene, then knocked out Benjamin Miner in a blind-versus-blind confrontation before Jackson-Spivack eliminated Rosario in the same configuration.
Heads-up play only lasted a few hands and Madsen got his final chips in only to have run into the turned trips of Jackson-Spivack.
Jackson-Spivack, who had $347,416 in Hendon Mob earnings heading into the event and said he is mainly a PLO 8 player, kept his winner's interview short as he was eager to hop right into the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. He did, after all, fly halfway around the world to be here, and emphasized that he planned on playing "literally everything."
As he walked away to register the H.O.R.S.E. Championship, Jackson-Spivack did what could be thought of as an impression of Scott Seiver impersonating Babe Ruth and called his shot.
"I'll try to win that one as well," he told PokerNews.

Jeff Madsen gradually lost chips over a few hands and then found himself raising the button as Edward Jackson-Spivack called in the big blind.
The flop of 10♠5♥K♣ checked through and Madsen tanked for several minutes on the 10♦ turn. Madsen then moved all in with his last chips and was met with a snap-call from Jackson-Spivack, who announced he had a ten.
Jeff Madsen: 9♣8♣8♦7♦ 
Edward Jackson-Spivack: 10♥7♣6♣3♦
Jackson-Spivack had trips and the 6♥ bricked off to mark Madsen's elimination in second place for $11,380.
