Jackson-Spivack Gets CMSOP Hat-trick; Hayes Picks Up Final Trophy
Two days after winning his second trophy of the 2025 Chainsaw Mixed 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.”
