Spragg Down; Hand Up

Level 3 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg opened to 1,500 from under the gun and called a three-bet to 5,350 by "5agittariu5" from two seats over. Spragg check-called the {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop for 3,044 and the {4-Spades} turn for 13,005 before check-folding the {7-Diamonds} river to a shove.

Fellow PokerStars streamer Fintan "easywithaces" Hand when he was in a battle of the blinds with "Gamblitz_13" when it kicked off with a limp-call for 3,200. Hand check-called the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop for 2,376 and the {9-Spades} turn for 9,600.

Hand then check-jammed the {10-Clubs} river for 99,051 as "Gamblitz_13" fired a third barrel for 20,560 and reluctantly folded.

Level 2 : 300/600, 75 ante
17neffetS_BR vs WudiCall
17neffetS_BR vs WudiCall

"WudiCall" was down to a quarter of the starting stack already on a table with several notables and three-bet jammed in second position to get called by initial raiser "17neffetS_BR".

It was a classic flip with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} versus {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} board gave "17neffetS_BR" a set right away to score the bounty prize.

Bounty for Mattsson

Level 2 : 300/600, 75 ante

Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson lost some chips early on but got them back when he knocked out a very short-stacked "torscotr06". It went in before the flop with the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for Mattsson and the {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for his opponent.

On a board of {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Mattsson's kicker prevailed to ensure at least $125 for the efforts.

milennial vs Adestor

In three-way action, "milennial" defended the big blind and check-raised the {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop to 7,049 only for "Adestor" to reraise to 14,400. What followed was a squeeze to 31,334 by "milennial" with 63,108 behind and they then called all-in when faced by a shove.

"milennial": {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
"Adestor": {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

There was no miracle on the {j-Spades} turn and {3-Spades} river runout as "Adestor" claimed a bounty prize.
