Spragg Eliminated by "Andre_Hansen"

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante
Spragg vs Andre_Hansen
Spragg vs Andre_Hansen

The action kicked off with a cutoff raise to 6,600 by "Andre_Hansen" and Ben "Spraggy" Spragg three-bet to 25,500 in the big blind, which the initial raiser from Ukraine called. On a flop of {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}, Spragg already slowed down and checked, then called a bet of 18,315.

On the {7-Diamonds} turn, Spragg check-called another 34,500 with 85,218 behind and checked the {a-Hearts} on the river.

"Andre_Hansen" emptied the clip and moved in with the superior stack, which Spragg called after some consideration to get shown the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. That won the hand, as Spragg's {k-Spades}{8-Hearts} for the same pair and inferior kicker was no good.

Are These The Most Unstoppable Players in WCOOP History?

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante

Just a couple of short years ago, only one player had accumulated five WCOOP titles.

Since then, the picture has changed quite a lot.

Two excellent MTT pros have now taken the lead, both with insane scores – one player has nine WCOOP titles, and another has eight.

With the WCOOP 2020 upon us, all could change again over the coming weeks, but it’s going to take nothing less than a legendary run if anyone is to join the top of the pack.

So as we look forward to the Series, here are the players who have won the most WCOOP titles so far. You’ll also find out who that five-time winner was.

Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Spragg Gets Short; Wins Some Back

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg, forfeited a medium-sized pot when he defended the big blind and ultimately gave up on the river of a {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board when facing aggression by Marc-Andre "FrenchDawg" Ladouceur.

Soon after, Spragg raised to 6,600 on the button and was called by "Jacob Schindler" and Ladouceur in the blinds. They checked the {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop and "Jacob Schindler" bet the {2-Spades} turn for 12,000, only Spragg called. After the {2-Clubs} river, "Jacob Schindler" bet 16,380 and was quite chatty in the table chat. Spragg ultimately came along with the {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to win the pot against {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

"kimokh" Nearing a Million

Level 6 : 1,250/2,500, 325 ante

Lebanese regular "kimokh" may well be the first player to surpass one million in chips as they currently lead the pack by some margin. They added further chips to their stack in a recent hand when they called a raise to 6,250 when in the cutoff and four players headed to the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop which got checked through.

"CINTHYA RIOS" in the small blind then led the {6-Clubs} turn for 12,500 and "kimokh" raised to 38,161 in order to win the pot uncontested.
