As the WCOOP Bootcamp kicks off on PokerStars this weekend, Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg warmed up in true home game fashion at Dusk Till Dawn (DTD) in Nottingham.

Up against his own brother Dan, and a host of PokerStars Ambassadors, poker players and content creators, each player started with 100,000 chips and a target on their back. That's because WCOOP tickets and goodies were up for grabs if you knocked out opponents.

Who wins and which Spragg comes out best? You'll have to watch to find out!
