Bald Spraggy Penultimate Bubble Boy

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg got his stack of 62,500 all in two off the money and was at risk against Joel Danforth.

Spraggy: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Danforth: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Danforth called for an ace, and while he didn't get one, the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop was just as good as he made trips.

Spraggy was looking for a jack but was left wanting as the {k-Spades} bricked the turn followed by the {3-Hearts} on the river.

Sleeth Sends Holmes to the Rail

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ashley Sleeth

Michael Holmes moved all in for 30,500 from the cutoff and WSOP Circuit ring winner Ashley Sleeth called from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Sleeth: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Holmes: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Holmes was drawing to two live cards and while he paired one on the {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop, Sleeth also paired her king. Neither the {3-Hearts} turn nor {3-Spades} river helped Holmes and he wished the table good luck before heading for the exit.

In Real Life: "Bald Spraggy" Makes His Live Poker Debut

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

There’s no denying Benjamin Spragg, known to the masses as “Spraggy,” is a good sport. Today, he is going bald for Day 2 of the Run It Up Reno VIII $440 Mini Main Event. It’s not necessarily by choice though, but rather the result of losing a prop bet rooted in a simple, albeit hilarious, fan-created emoji.

“The first time I saw it an online player had it as his picture on PokerStars,” Spraggy told PokerNews. “He got put on my table and it popped up with me looking bald. Everyone on the table thought it was hilarious. They said I should make it an emote. I contacted the guy who made it and I had it as a Twitch emote. People will post that in the chat for whatever reason – Bald Spraggy.”

Enter Jesse Fullen, an employee of Run It Up who asked Spraggy what it’d take for him to come to Run It Up Reno VIII as “Bald Spraggy.”

“I’ll do it if you make me laugh [on stream],” Spraggy said. Fullen, who organizes many of RIU’s social events, was up for the challenge.

“What he said was I’ve got the perfect thing and you’re drawing snap-dead because you’ll never make me laugh on stream. I’ve gone months without laughing on stream,” Fullen said. “I decided to try to level him by finding a really horrible joke and it worked.”

So what was the joke that got the unflinching Spraggy to crack a smile and let slip a laugh?

“A man walks into a zoo. There’s only one animal in the zoo. It’s a dog. It’s a Shitzu.”

“It’s obviously not a funny joke, but the idea of him thinking it would make me laugh, almost as soon as I started reading the first line [in the chat] I started laughing,” Spraggy said.

Real Spraggy and the emote the PokerStars avatar that inspired it all.

Fullen wasn’t going to make Spraggy shave his head for accepting a bad bet and laughing at an even worse joke. However, he still wanted to punish him. The two came to terms that a Reno-based makeup artist would fit Spraggy with a bald cap he’ll have to wear all day.

“This is going to live on. When people talk about RIU Reno this is one of the things they’ll remember,” Fullen said as he watched the makeup artist do her work.

A solemn-looking Spraggy wasn’t so cheerful.

“Burn all evidence of this day and hope it gets wiped from memory,” he said. “But a bet is a bet, I lost the bet, I’m an idiot for making the bet, and here I am because of it.”

Chances are you'll be seeing more of "Bald Spraggy" today as he's expected to make the feature table live stream on RunItUp.TV, or even if he doesn't and busts, don't be surprised to see him tackle commentary duties.

Martin Doubles Through Pokrivnak

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Big Brother Canada winner and Twitch streamer Kevin Martin got his stack of 43,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Andy Pokrivnak, who began the day second in chips and was sporting a Kevin Martin shirt.

Martin: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Pokrivnak: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"Good game, Andy," Martin said as he got up from the table. He need not fear as the board ran out {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} to secure him the double with a turned flush.
