Sparks Scoops Side Pot; Koegel Quadruples
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A pair of players in early position committed 3,000 apiece before Brad Koegel jammed for his final 1,000 from late position. Steve Sparks woke up with a hand in the big blind and opted to go all-in himself for 16,500.
The shove from Sparks led to folds from both early position players to result in a showdown between Sparks and Koegel, with Sparks scooping the side pot.
Brad Koegel: A♦7♣
Steve Sparks: A♣K♥
Sparks was well ahead as they went to a runout, but the flop was in favor of Koegel as it came 7♥4♥8♠ to pull Koegel ahead with a pair of sevens.
The 2♠ turn and the 2♥ river were of no consequence as Koegel secured the quadruple up.
Despite his success in this hand, Koegel was seen leaving he tournmanet area as he busted shortly after.
