Anything can happen at The Festival Series Malta as was evidenced last night. The Festival Series Twitch streamer notoriously punted away his stack intentionally in the Sviten Special event in order to play the Cash Game Challenge a couple of nights ago.
Last night was a different story. Apparently, when Jackson sets his mind out to win he can do just that as he shipped the €250 Texas Knockout for €3,500 plus bounties after agreeing to a heads-up deal with Liam Johnston, who won nearly as much.
Sascha Manns was also on the podium with a third-place performance for €2,380.
The event attracted 150 entries to create a €33,000 prize pool including bounties.
