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 his second WSOPC ring and a $139,996 score.
The finale drew 455 players for a prize pool that tipped over $689K. Among the other final table finishers were Ryan Leng, Matt Affleck, and local legend Terry Fleischer.
Show-stopping 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.

Baldy binks another one
Elsewhere in the closing moments of WSOPC Las Vegas, Eric Baldwin clinched his third WSOP Circuit Ring on Tuesday night, winning Event #18: $3,300 High Roller for a $51,158 first-place prize.
The $3,300 High Roller played out as the 18th and final event on the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Las Vegas schedule.
The win is Baldwin's 226th career cash at WSOP events. That total includes two bracelet wins and, now, three Circuit Rings.
"These days, we're definitely playing for the prize money," Baldwin said. "Nonetheless, it's always cool (to win a Circuit Ring), along with the freeroll that comes along with it."
All Circuit Ring winners get a spot in the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tournament of Champions, and Baldwin will be part of that mix.
The final table lineup included some very strong players. Pierce McKellar finished second for $32,304, while Upeshka De Silva (8th - $7,302) accomplished the impressive feat of final tabling the $1,700 Main Event, jumping into the $3,300 High Roller afterward, and final tabling that event as well.
