Spraggy produces zombie-like comeback
You can’t help but admire the sheer tenacity of it.
Who is this guy with the minerals to register the $22 Mini Super Tuesday at midnight, when he was already six hours into a stream and four figures in the hole?
Who is this guy brave enough to single-handedly overturn all existing sleep codes and customs while ignoring the many chat pros who were betting against him?
Who is this magnificent guy?
Spraggy. That’s who.
Yep, on Tuesday night Ben “Spraggy” Spragg was stuck between a rock and hard place. He’d had some deep runs which didn’t pan out and he was stuck for the session, but he also had an audience watching in the thousands.
He refused to let them down.
Spraggy fired up the $22 Mini Super Tuesday.
It wasn’t smooth sailing.
But he won the big pots when they counted.
And even got a little lucky.
He rode a wave of euphoria all the way to a second-place finish for $1,412, good enough to get him in profit for the day.
13 hour marathon session and managed a 2nd place to save the day for $1922 invested , $2536 out.
Going super hard at the moment with stream/study/play.
232 hours streamed in January. It's kinda fucked that I've been streaming for 5 years with no real breaks. Back tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/A7qclEGmmm

The hero even returned the very next night (Wednesday 3 Feb) and did it all over again, even longer this time.
Another day, another 14 hours 17 minutes live and another profitable session. In for $1656 and out for $2815 with 3 final tables along the way.
Thanks for watching and supporting. Going hard in 2021. pic.twitter.com/9zAjp2Fh2C
