After three days of poker, David Jackson Won WSOP $3,000 Freezeout Event #65 in No Limit. He deprived Phil Hellmuth from a 17th victory in the World Series, the Poker Brat played its 70th final on the occasion of its 184th cash!
DJ wins his second bracelet and just over $598,000, his runner-up takes $369,698 after a complicated start to the festival. Gastric concerns, suspicion of COVID, lack of success, Phil Hellmuth has recovered in the right direction and is not far from having improved his record…
Winner of Event #25: $777 LUCKY SEVENS on GGpoker, Jackson pocketed $194,178 from 2,013 opponents online. This time, he dominated a field of 1,359 entrants to win live!
Jackson takes the bulk of a $3.6 million prizepool…while Daniel Negreanu, Maria Ho or Justin Bonomo have only participated in the kitty.
Koray Aldemir, Hossein Ensan or Martin Kabrhel jumped on Day 2 and they were down to 26 at the start of Day 3.
Hellmuth launched his conquest by cracking the Aces of the Frenchman Julien Martini not successful in the last few weeks…

“I was in the zone, I felt I was going to win. I felt like it was written for me tonight […] I’m in love, happy, very happy… but I’m not realizing it either,” the champion told PokerNews. “This second bracelet is better than the first, there were a lot of people but it was easier, there the field was tough and it’s Las Vegas,” added Jackson, well ahead at the start of the last duel.
“I played my game, I continued and I stayed calm,” Jackson replied about the return initiated by Phil Hellmuth at the start of the head’s up. After a 45-minute threesome and the start of a duel in his favor, Hellmuth almost got back into Jackson’s wheel.
When he only had 20% of the chips left, Phil Hellmuth put the chips in front to raise himself but the cards were not in his favor on this last pot… The 17th charm will wait!
