Two days after winning his second trophy of the 2025 Chainsaw Series of Poker (CMSOP) series at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, England's Ted Jackson-Spivack took down the $1,100 T.O.R.S.E. Championship for $15,749 and a third title.
Jackson-Spivack, who flew more than 5,200 miles to play the mixed game series, also won the overall series honors to win an additional $3,000. That nearly makes up for the four bullets he told PokerNews he was forced to fire en route to his latest victory.
“I definitely play wider than most in general," Jackson-Spivack said in a winner's interview. "When you do that, you win tournaments. You also bust a lot. I did four bullets in this. I don’t think anyone else did, but that’s fine. I won the most.”
It was no easy path to victory, and Jackson-Spivack, who earlier won the $600 Limit T.O.R.S.E and $1,100 Omaha 8 or Better Championship, noted that today's final table was "the toughest of the three, for sure." It included yesterday's $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. Championship winner Damjan Radanov and Nick Pupillo, who made all three $1,100 Championship final tables and ultimately finished runner-up for $9,849.
"I think when we were three-handed it could’ve gone to anyone," Jackson-Spivack said. "I was very short for a lot of that and just doubled up a bunch.”

Three Titles for Jackson-Spivack, Three Championship Final Tables for Pupillo
The final Championship event on the final day of the CMSOP series — with the Formula 1 festivities occupying most of the Strip — drew 49 runners for a prize pool of $48,020. Nine players returned with eight spots paid, and Tyler Patterson fell on the money bubble before fellow short stack Hye Park fell right behind him to make way for the final table.
It was Pupillo's third straight final table and he was determined to make the most of it after two fifth-place finishes.
"I'm not getting another fifth place!" Pupillo said before Day 2 kicked off.
Leonard August's fifth-place elimination confirmed that Pupillo would improve on his previous results and he got closer to the title as after Paul Holder went out in fourth place during a hand of Stud Hi-Lo.
Radanov couldn't secure back-to-back titles as he busted in third place in an Omaha Hi-Lo hand against Jackson-Spivack. The high betting limits saw Pupillo's chip lead dwindle during heads-up play and he eventually saw himself at risk in a 2-7 Triple Draw hand with three draws to come. Pupillo ended up with an eighty-six to be pipped by the eighty-five of Jackson-Spivack.
“He played very well in every game," Jackson-Spivack said about the 2023 Global Poker Index (GPI) Mid-Major Player of the Year.
A T.O.R.S.E. natural, Jackson-Spivack said he missed the inaugural event at this summer's World Series of Poker (WSOP) due to deep runs in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Big O Championship and $10,000 PLO 8 or Better Championship, both of which resulted in disappointing ninth-place finishes. But Jackson-Spivack now has three trophies to take with him back to England, but not before he plays the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas in December.
That wraps up PokerNews' coverage of the $1,100 T.O.R.S.E. Championship. Head to the live reporting portal for additional updates on the series.
