WSOPC Event #15: $1,700 MAIN EVENT

After battling heads-up for the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Main Event championship for two hours, David Jackson and Yaniv Livnat saw a flop that neither player could get away from.

The hand involved a rare 4-bet flop shove from Jackson, followed by a call from Livnat.

"This is it," said Jackson to Livnat as the two players hugged it out and waited to see which one would win the biggest pot of the Main Event.

Jackson was the winner, and the hand clinched the tournament win and a $139,996 score.

The victory gives Jackson his second career WSOP Circuit Ring.

Huge Final Hand

The tournament-clinching hand played out on Level 32 with the blinds at 100,000/200,000 (200,000). Jackson entered the hand with 9.5 million chips, and Livnat with 8.7 million

Livnat opened to 400,000 and Jackson called. Chips were piled in on both sides on a     flop until both players were all in.

Jackson's    held up against Livnat's   , and that was the final hand in a heads-up match that saw the chip lead traded back and forth several times.

"I was trying to remain focused," Jackson said. "I was losing some big pots. He flopped a flush where I flopped a straight for a 13-million chip pot. I became really short, and I just wanted to battle back."

Jackson did indeed battle back in what was an entertaining ending to a lively final table and final two.

The win puts Jackson at just over $4.83 million in career live tournament winnings. The talented poker pro clinched his second Circuit Ring and his 94th career WSOP cash.
