The PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) is currently underway and has already produced some interesting storylines, including Benny Glaser winning his 19th WCOOP title and Main Event champion Espen Jorstad picking up a title.
There was also a memorable hand from PokerStars Team Online Pro Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg, who went for an epic bluff five players away from the money in a $1,050 buy-in Super Tuesday event.
In a clip from Spragg’s Twitch stream, the PokerStars pro found himself holding K♥J♥ on a board of 10♥5♣Q♦4♦4♥ to be left with just king-high in a heads-up pot against “ArtHouse2011”.
“ArtHouse2011” led out with a bet of 153,750 with slightly more than that behind and Spragg was feeling it as he raised all in. “Is this so sick … who’s bluffing here? Who the f*** is bluffing here? Other than my dumb ass. Five from the money and I click in king-high on the river versus this. Am I the sickest? Am I the sickest? How can he call queen-ten, really?”
As Spragg, who is fresh off taking down the PokerStars UKIPT Brighton Main Event for £69,120, waited in suspense, the time bank of “ArtHouse2011” reached zero and Spragg jumped from his chair as he celebrated his bravery.
Several players were quick to compliment Spragg, including fellow PokerStars Pro Arlie Shaban.
“Why did I try to bluff you?” questioned Germany’s Dominik Nitsche, who finished runner-up to Spragg in the UKIPT Brighton Main Event.
