Jackson's Comeback Is Complete

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Ben Jackson had spent most of Day 1a nursing a short stack and it looked set to be a miserable first WSOP Main Event experience for the young pro. But, and it's a big but, he's now smiling from ear-to-ear after not only clawing his way back to the starting stack size, but doubling that starting stack to be sat with 60,000 chips.

We saw Jackson, in the big blind, all-in on a {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board and waiting for the player on the button to call. The button eventually called and showed {K-}{J-} and as soon as he saw the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} in Jackson's hand he stood from the table ready to leave.

The dealer placed the {10-Diamonds} on the river to bust the player on the button and to see Jackson's stack swell to 60,000.
