Since 2007 he has also participated in renowned live tournaments.

Mackey won his first live cash prize in January 2007 at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event in the Bahamas , where he was eligible to play before his 21st birthday.

For this he prevailed against 639 other players and secured a bonus of around 730,000 US dollars and, as the third-youngest player at the time, a bracelet . At the 2008 WSOP , he was runner-up in the mixed 8-game world championship , which was paid for just under $ 300,000. In early December 2008, Mackey won an event at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas and secured the grand prize of more than 200,000 US dollars. At the 2012 WSOP , he took third place, worth over $ 285,000. In mid-April 2014, he reached the final table at the World Poker Tour (WPT) main event in Hollywood , Florida , finishing the tournament third for around $ 440,000. In early August 2016, Mackey won the WPT Main Event in Durant for a prize of more than $ 665,000. He made another final table at the 2018 WSOP , earning around $ 285,000 for second place.
