Spragg Sends Ward to the Rail

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Thomas Ward
Thomas Ward

Thomas Ward, who hails from Scotland and has seven cashes on the UKIPT, was just eliminated in a blind-versus-blind hand against Benjamin Spragg.

It happened after action folded to Spragg in the small blind and he raised to 23,000. Ward was in the big and responded by three-betting all in for around 250,000. Spragg snap-called and Ward discovered that he was in trouble.

Spragg: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Ward: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} flop made things very interesting as it paired Spragg's queen but also gave Ward an open-ended straight draw. The {2-Clubs} turn was of no consequence, and neither was the {5-Diamonds} river. Ward missed his outs, shook hands with few opponents and then took his leave in 46th place.
