Earlier this week, Jeremy Meacham emerged victorious atop the 420-entry field at WPTDeepStacks Jacksonville to win the $1,500 Main Event for $114,551. For Meacham, it was the largest score of his live tournament career, and with the prize came a $3,000 package to the WPTDeepStacks Championship.
“I ran good,” Meacham said in his post-win interview. “I guess it’s my tournament to have a nice little run, and things went my way at the final table. I played pretty solid, tight early on, then opened it up five, six handed. The cards just fell my way and held up in a lot of hands. It’s great. I’m very happy.”
