Matt Warburton

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Halil Conez raised to 2,500 from late position and Benjamin Spragg three-bet to 7,000 from the button. Fintan Hand, who had just recently sat down at the table, then shoved all in from the big blind with around a starting stack. Conez folded and Spraggy made the call, putting Hand at risk.

Fintan Hand: A♦K♣
Benjamin Spragg: A♥Q♦

"Well played," said Hand as Spraggy revealed his hand.

The board ran out Q♥7♦6♠4♥J♥.

"Oh f*ck!", said Hand as the queen came on the flop to give Spraggy a pair. "I'm playing my stand up equity," he said, standing up behind his chair to tempt the poker gods into providing the king.

The king never came. Hand was eliminated and Spraggy scooped the pot to bring his stack to around 80,000.

"Have I got time to buy-in again?", asked Hand.

"You've got 20-minutes," said Spraggy. Hand walked off, presumably heading to the registration desk to fire his second bullet.

"He said he was about to bust me," said Spraggy, "note that down."
