Timothy Jackson from NY Wins $5,000 WPT Package in Season Championship
Timothy Jackson (timoth) from Rochester, New York, just made a statement: the Summer Season Championship is his. Tim battled through a field of 198 hungry players, all chasing the same dream, and when the dust settled, it was Timothy holding the winner’s title and a World Poker Tour® $5K Passport in hand.
This was no soft field. Everyone in this freeroll earned their way in by finishing in the top 15% of their Summer Season leaderboards. These are players who grind. Players who know how to play under pressure. And Tim rose above them all.
Massive congratulations to Timothy, enjoy that WPT® $5K Passport! Whether it’s Vegas, Florida, California, or anywhere the World Poker Tour® sets the stage, Tim now gets to choose his battlefield.
