Get to Know WSOP Bracelet Winner Jacquelyn Scott

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Jacquelyn Scott winning her gold bracelet.

Jacquelyn Scott likes to have fun at the poker table.

Last month she was over in Europe competing in the EPT Monte Carlo, eventually finishing sixth in the €1,100 French National Championship for $47,691.

While she's a familiar face here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, what Scott is best known for is topping a field of 795 runners to win the 2015 World Series of Poker $1,000 Ladies Event for a career-high $153,876 and a coveted gold bracelet.

“Oh, I always have fun. Usually when I come to a poker tournament, and the guys don’t know me, they don’t know what to expect," Scott recently told PokerNews in a feature interview. "And then when they see my sense of humor they go, ‘I really like you, you’re funny,’ and I go ‘thanks!’”

Originally from Michigan, Scott now lives in Fort Lauderdale where she got her start in poker.

“I started playing with a couple of guys in my office, and we’d go to the Hard Rock and I just got very intrigued by it and decided, I can do this… I got totally into it and then I took it very seriously. So I’ve always had to balance my career with poker, because my real estate business comes first.”

We'll be keeping an eye on Scott to see if she can replicate her Monte Carlo success by making a deep run here at the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series.

May Deep Stack Flashback: Good Friends Strike Deal in 2018 Event

Chad Holloway

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Last year, this very event attracted 1,045 entrants over three starting flights and created a $307,900 prize pool. Dion Jagroo dominated the final table to capture the title after striking a heads-up deal, good for $66,000 plus a $1,650 Deepest Stack seat.

Jagroo struck a deal with his good friend Daniel Silva, who locked up $43,554.

“This is literally something we both dreamed about,” Jagroo said after winning last year. “Something we always thought about.”

“It’s crazy,” Silva laughed as they celebrated.

2019 Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series Kicks Off Today!

Chad Holloway

For the next two weeks, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood will play host to the Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series. The series is comprised of three different tournaments at varying price points, all of which will be live reported here on PokerNews.

It starts today with the $350 buy-in Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry) $150,000 GTD, which will run May 16-20. Players will start with 30,000 in chips and play 40-minute levels through Level 14. Levels 15-26 will last 60 minutes each with Levels 27+ will switch to 90 minutes. Heads-up play will revert to 40-minute levels.

The plan for the Day 1 flights is to play through Level 14.

Late registration and unlimited re-entries will be allowed until the start of Day 2. Players may not bag and play a subsequent flight. Players may forfeit their stack to Re-Enter or participate in subsequent starting day.

The winner of the tournament will also receive an added $1,650 Main Event seat.

In 2018, Dion Jagroo topped a 1,045-entry field to win the Deep Stack for $66,000. The year before that, Ben Lindemulder won it outright for $67,232 after navigating a field of 1,029 runners. Back in 2016, it was Steve McKoy coming out on top of a 1,075-entry field to win the title and accompanying $49,755 first-place prize.

Here's a look at the structure for today.
