Spragg Sends Ward to the Rail
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
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: 
Ward: 
The 
flop made things very interesting as it paired Spragg's queen but also gave Ward an open-ended straight draw. The 
turn was of no consequence, and neither was the 
river. Ward missed his outs, shook hands with few opponents and then took his leave in 46th place.
