Spragg Left Short
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action folded around to Mikhail Nikolaev who opened from the button to 1,500. Benjamin Spragg, in the big blind, called.
He checked the 4?A?8? flop to Nikolaev, who bet 1,000. Spragg put in the check-raise to 3,700 and Nikolaev made the call.
Spragg then led on the 5? turn for 7,000 before Nikolaev raised to 18,000. Spragg took a moment before announcing all in for around 35,000. Nikolaev made the call but was at risk.
Mikhail Nikolaev: 6?7?
Benjamin Spragg: A?4?
The 8? river upgraded Spragg's two pair, but it was Nikolaev's straight that was the best. Spragg thought he had been busted from the tournament, but the dealer confirmed he had chips remaining.
