Playing His Favorite Game, Omaha Hi-Lo, Dean ‘Action’
Jackson Wins Ring Event #3
Jackson, a Farmer and Salvage Man from Waukon, Iowa, has
Fairly Easy Win
Council Bluffs, IA — They call him “Action Jackson,” and action in poker is what Dean Jackson
wants. He doesn’t like sitting around for hours waiting for good hold’em cards, and that’s
why he likes Omaha hi-lo, where you can find all kinds of playable hands. He got enough of
them today to take down the third ring event of the WSOP Circuit tour at Horseshoe Council
Bluffs. His triumph was worth $9,185, along with a diamond and gold trophy ring.
Jackson is a 58-year-old farmer (corn, beans and some beef cattle) from Waukon, Iowa,
who also operates a salvage business – “A better word than junk,” he said. He learned
poker from his father 30 or 40 years ago, and also likes mixed-game tournaments. He was
in good shape throughout this tournament, came to the final table in second chip position,
and took over the lead in late going. Jackson, describing himself as down-to-earth :
“nothing fancy,” has a bracelet in Omaha at the Jack Binion Mid-America Poker Classic in
Tunica. This year he played his first WSOP event, Omaha hi-lo, finishing 43rd and knocking
out Phil Ivey along the way.
This event drew 111 players for a prize pool of $30,618. Day one ended with nine players
left, and they resumed play at 2 p.m. today. Holding a good lead with 411,000 chips was
Allan “Bossman” Moore. At the other end, with just 12,000, was David “Guru” Summers.
Here were the starting chip counts:
Seat
1. Kostas Mantzaris 47,000
2. Paul Summers 12,000
3. Peter Mavro 75,000
4. Mike Lynch 51,000
5. Allan Moore 411,000
6. Dean Jackson 232,000
7. Ross Jones 111,000
8. Robert Nelson 128,000
9. Brian Brashaw 41,000
Play started with blinds of 3,000-6,000 and 6,000-12,000 limits, seven minutes remaining
at level 18.
Ninth Place: It didn’t take long to lose the first player. Summers was immediately all in with
A-3-10-Q, up against Peter “Dragon” Mavro, who held A-4-5-9. Both players missed their
low draws when the board came K-4-3-4-10, Summers made 10s and treys, not nearly
good enough after Mavro ended up with trip 4s, and he cashed ninth for $789.
Summers, 45, is a motorcycle builder from Spearfish, South Dakota with 15 years
experience. He has a second in the spring Deadwood Shootout. His hobby, unsurprisingly,
is motorcycle riding
Eighth Place: Limits became 8,000-16,000. On a flop of A-K-5, Kostas Mantzaris bet his last
chips and had three callers. Holding A-3-5-J, Mantzaris had his low draw double-
counterfeited, but made aces and 5s. He didn’t improve when a king hit the turn and a 6
came on the river. The cards were turned up. Moore, with an A-K in his hand, had kings full.
He took the high end while Ross “King Size” Jones took the low as Mantzaris cashed out
eighth for $989. Mantzaris is 71, retired, and from Council Bluffs.
Seventh Place: With limits now at 10,000-20,000. Jones found himself all in from the big
blind holding a weak 2-4-6-6. There were three callers. A flop of K-Q-J made a set for Peter
Mavro, who held K-K-10-2. He bet out when a deuce turned, and the other two players
folded. Ross was now drawing dead, and after an irrelevant 9 came on the river, he
finished seventh, paying $1,263. Jones, 32, is from Manhattan, Kansas, and is manager of a
Chilis bar grill. Prior cashes include a 32nd in a Sunday Million event and a 13th in a
Venetian Deep Stack event. His hobbies are fishing and creating music.
Sixth Place: Next out was Brian “Specialist” Brashaw. On a flop of A-4-K, he went all in
holding A-3-3-10, up against Mike Lynch, holding A-5-7-9. A queen and then a 5 came,
giving Lynch aces and fives to beat Brashaw’s lone pair of aces. Brashaw is a 29-year-old
stock broker from Papillion, Nebraska who’s played 10 years. His best finish was a win in a
$300 Omaha hi-lo event here in 2008.
Fifth Place: Robert Nelson quickly followed Brashaw to the payout window. In three-way
action he was all in with K-Q-9-9 against Jackson with a premium hand of A-A-2-3, and
Moore, who held A-A-9-J. The board came 7-8-2-8-4, completely missing Nelson. Jackson got
three-quarters of the pot by making a nut low and splitting the high with Moore, each of
them holding pocket aces. Fifth paid $2,175. Nelson, 32, is from Omaha working as a liquor
store manager. He’s played for 14 years, going from home games to the Internet, to live.
He has a prior final table in no-limit hold’em. Hobbies are golf, fishing and bartending.
Fourth Place: The players returned from break with Jackson now in the lead with nearly
590,000 chips, followed by Moore with 315,000, and Lynch with 165,000, while Mavro was
down to just 16,000. Limits now were 15,000-30,000. On the first hand there was three-
way action. The flop came J-Q-A, making a Broadway straight for Jackson, who held
A-K-10-8. He bet and Mavro jokingly saying “I raise,” tossed in his last chip. He was virtually
dead holding 6-6-Q-5, and was totally dead when a king turned. He earned $2,936 for
fourth. Mavro, 31, is a full-time player from Douglaston, New York who listed his occupation
as “space cowboy” before turning pro. He’s played seven years, his biggest cash being
$70,564 for finishing third in a Borgata Deep Stack event in Atlantic City last year. He said
his poker highlight was “meeting Ted Ely and Ian Palomo,” and his highlight outside poker
was scoring the lead in a 6th grade production of “The Pajama Game.”
Third Place: Third place and $4,042 went to Mike Lynch. He was all in with J-10-8-3 against
Moore, who had A-4-4-6, A flop of 3-5-6 left him in bad shape, giving Moore a higher pair
and a wraparound straight draw. Instead, a 4 turned to give Moore a set along with a low,
leaving Lynch no outs. Lynch, collecting $4,042 for third, is 62, retired, and from Appleton,
Wisconsin. He learned poker with school friends 50 years ago. His hobby is fishing.
Second Place: Heads-up, Jackson enjoyed a 2-1 chip lead, and after taking a couple of pots
had Moore down to 60,000. Moore hung around a while, doubling up a couple of times, but
couldn’t make much headway. The end came soon after blinds went to 10,000-20,000 with
20,000-40,000 limits. On the final hand the board showed 7d-2s-7s-5c-Qd. Moore bet his
last chips and Jackson called. Moore turned over 2-4-5-10 for 7s and 5s, losing to Jackson,
who held A-4-J-Q. Jackson had made a low on the turn and the river gave him the higher
two pair, queens and 7s. Settling for second, Moore was paid $5,677.
Moore, 31, from Manhattan, Kansas, is a Verizon wireless manager. He began playing 10
years ago with the Northview Poker Crew, which he is representing here. His prior poker
highlight was making the top 30 in the Sunday Million.
