Spragg Gets Short, Then Doubles

Level 11 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg lost a decent pot to knock him down to under ten big blinds, and he got that stack in the middle a few hands later with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Luke "lb6121" Schwartz put him at risk holding {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and the flop of {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} gave Schwartz a few more outs. The {6-Clubs} turn didn't help though, nor did the {8-Hearts} river, and Spragg started the comeback trek with a double.

Grafton Pushing 600,000

Level 10 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

Sam "SamSquid" Grafton raised it up to 7,700 and in the small blind, "alex_13_12_9" three bet to 28,000. Back to Grafton now, and he would four bet shove with the bigger stack. "alex_13_12_9" called with pocket tens, and they were flipping against the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Grafton.

The British pro would shoot out to the lead on the {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, and no further help would come for either player, boosting Grafton up the chip counts.

Spragg Busts Veldhuis

Level 8 : 1,250/2,500, 325 ante

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg raised to 5,500 preflop, and from the small blind, Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis moved all in for 28,000 and change. Spragg put him at risk holding {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and he was flipping against the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The board ran down {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, and Spragg's full house was good enough to knockout his fellow Pokerstars pro.
