THIS WEEK:
- No rest for Spraggy
- Clips of the week
The two weeks following an enormous and intense series like the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) are usually pretty darn quiet on the Twitch Poker front, as exhausted streamers take a well-earned break.
But there’s no rest for Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg.
After winning his second WCOOP title for $68K, he’s been hard at work streaming most evenings post-WCOOP–often well into the UK’s early morning hours–and he’s been on a tear.
On Friday night, the PokerStars Team Pro was battling on the final table of one of the biggest daily events on PokerStars: the High Roller Club’s $530 Bounty Builder HR.
This huge cooler gave Spraggy plenty of chips to work with.
But in the end, he was just outpipped.
Very FUN 2nd place in the $530 BB for $12,192 tonight. Whiskers away from the win but really enjoyable stream.
Thanks everyone for hanging out. Post WCOOP is always a fun time to play, hopefully can pick up some FAT WINS in the next couple weeks. pic.twitter.com/h5nMGg8FnB

Spraggy was back at it the following night, and was back on another final table, finishing third in the $22 Mini Saturday KO for $2,336 (inc. bounties).
On Tuesday night, the late-night marathon streams began and it ended in style after a 15-hour stream.
Spraggy took down the $162 Pacific Rim (which starts at 6 am UK time) for $4,341.
Tell us: who loves it more?
Been streaming 15 hours straight, all day and night. Just shipped the $162 Pacific Rim for $4341. Knocked a lot of people out and still looking for more.
I love this game. pic.twitter.com/v3xAhewUDA

While he hasn’t taken time off from poker, Spraggy did find time for a haircut.
That photo was actually taken at the half way point of my trim.
