Spragg Flops Trips, Wins a Small One

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Marle Spragg
Marle Spragg

Marle Spragg is sitting on a healthy stack and just increased that by a little bit.

She opened from under the gun to 5,500 and received calls from Liam Tansey in the hijack and Jonathan Lynch in the big blind.

Fives galore as the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} were dealt as the flop. Lynch checked to Spragg, who bet 10,000. Tansey called the bet and Lynch got out of the way.

The turn {10-Spades} got checked through and on the river {k-Clubs} Spragg added another 10,000 to the pot. Tansey was not happy with his holdings anymore, as he passed his cards to the dealer. Tansey was still left with a big stack of over 100 big blinds himself.

Lindstrom Doubles His Short Stack With Aces

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Marc Doring raised from late position to 5,500 and Ludvig Lindstrom responded by moving all in from the small blind for 18,000. Doring shook his head but ultimately knew he was priced in for the call. He threw his chips in the middle and players flipped their cards, with Lindstrom the player at risk.

Ludvig Lindstrom: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Marc Doring: {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Lindstrom's aces held for the double up.
