Spraggy Scores a Big One

"&scorpião$78" opened to 1,760 from late position. "eGeMi" called from the button, as did Ben "Spraggy" Spragg in the big blind.

On the "3s9c10s" flop, Spragg checked to the preflop aggressor, who continued for 4,406. Both other players called. The trio checked through the 7♣ turn, leading to the 3♦ on the river. On the final street, Spragg bet 14,970. He received a call from "&scorpião$78" before "eGeMi" folded, letting the other two showdown.

With nearly 50,000 in the middle, Spragg showed J♦8♣ for straight. His opponent promptly mucked and the PokerStars Ambassador took down the pot, nearly doubling his stack from the start of the hand.
