Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg Drowns on the River

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg moved all in for around 120,000 from the hijack and David Larson jammed his big stack all in over the top from the button. Both blinds folded and it was off to the races.

Larson: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Spragg: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Spragg was looking to hold and did so on both the {3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop and {j-Spades} turn. Unfortunately for him, the {a-Diamonds} spiked on the river to pair Larson and send Spraggy to the rail in 16th place for $500.

Two-Table Redraw at the Dinner Break (full)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The field reached 16 players which meant it was time for a redraw. Given the convenience of it, the players decided to take their one-hour dinner break a bit early. Cards will be back in the air at 7:30 p.m. local time. Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg is the last $300 pro bounty remaining.

Brian Metzger Bubbles the Pro Bounty

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Brian Metzger - Bubble Boy
Brian Metzger - Bubble Boy

With 22 players remaining it was the money bubble and hand-for-hand play was instituted.

Not long after, action folded to Brian Metzger on the button and he moved all in for his last 18,000, which Miguel Cardenas called from the big blind.

Cardenas: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Metzger: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Metzger got it in good but failed to come out the winner as the board ran out {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} to give Cardenas a flush.

Metzger's elimination in 22nd place means the remaining players are guaranteed a minimum payday of $400.

Lindner Spikes the River to More Than Double

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Lindner moved all in for 52,000 from middle position and the player on the button called off for 41,000. The player in the big blind then called to put both players at risk.

Lindner: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Button: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Lindner had the worst of it but would up with the winner after the board ran out {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs} to give him a pair of kings.
