David Jackson – 1st Place – 2019 BSPO Championship
David Jackson will collect $304,929 for his win in the 2019 Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship and take home his second Borgata Open trophy. This is his second six-figure cash and will be his new best live cash.
The 34-year-old father of five had his wife Gloria and friend Will Givens here rooting him on at the final table. He took the chip lead early, but then watched as his chips dwindled and Shannon Shorr’s stack grew. Shannon proved to be a tough opponent and started their heads-up battle with a large lead, but David never gave up, battling back to claim the win.
