Jackson Hoping For Some Beginner's Luck
Ben Jackson may not be a household name yet, but he sure could be if he puts together a deep run in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event. The youngster is considered one of the best up-and-coming talents of British poker thanks to his fearless approach to the game, despite his tender years.
Jackson is the son of seasoned pro Paul "Action Jack" Jackson who you may recall was involved in that hand with the legendary Phil Ivey. Jackson told is that his father has returned home to the United Kingdom, leaving him to fly the flag for the Jackson household.
This is Jackson Jr's first WSOP having only recently turned 21-years of age. He'll be hoping for some beginner's luck here in his first WSOP Main Event.
Earlier in the series, Caitlyn Howe caught up with the father-and-son duo and quizzed them about all things poker.
