Jackson, who is from Jacksonville, Florida, already had a WSOP ring under his belt from winning the 2017 WSOP Circuit Event #3: $580 No-Limit Hold'em in North Carolina for a score of $39.938. He entered Day 2 of the tournament fourth in chips and reached the seven-handed final table in the same position.

Jackson played tight in the early stages of the final table and took down a big pot when he made two-pair with ace-king against his opponent's smaller two-pair. He later took the chip lead during three-handed play after doubling when his pocket fours held against the ace-queen of eventual runner-up Pora.

Final Table Action

The seven-handed final table began after Argentinian pro Leandro Bianchini busted on the bubble in eighth place when his ace-four was pipped by his opponent's ace-five. Masakazu "Brian-Miyamoto" Miyamoto of Japan was next out after that, busting in brutal fashion when he flopped a flush and his opponent flopped the nut flush.

Fellow Japanese pro Ken "[email protected]" Okada was eliminated in sixth place when he got all-in pre-flop with king-jack against the eight-seven of Mike Watson, who made two-pair on the river. A couple orbits later, Watson scored a double when he turned a flush against Pora's jacks. The Canadian pro ended up busting in fourth place for $73,392 when his two-pair was no good against the trips of China's Weilin "Ace predator" Wang.

Heads-Up Play

Heads-up play began when Pora eliminated Wang in an all-in confrontation where Pora's ace-eight got there against Wang's ace-queen, sending the latter player out in third place for $101,508. Jackson took a massive chip lead early into the heads-up match when he flopped two-pair and got it in against the pocket kings of Pora. Pora got some of those chips back shortly after by doubling with king-six against the jack-ten of his opponent, but Jackson maintained a sizable chip advantage.

In the final hand of the tournament, Pora and Jackson were all-in pre-flop with ace-eight and king-three, respectively. Pora was ahead with ace-high until Jackson paired his king on the river and locked up the victory.
