The action folded to PokerStars ambassador Benjamin Spragg in the small blind and he moved all in for his last 13,500. Jan-Eric Schwippert quickly called from the big blind.
Benjamin Spragg: A♣K♥
Jan-Eric Schwippert: Ax6x
Spragg was miles in front and remained ahead following the 10♣7♠5♣ flop. The K♣ turn sealed him the checkmark ahead of the J♠ river.
The following hand, Gabriel Cunha opened to 3,000 from early position. Jesse Lonis called from the cutoff. Schwippert and Fabiano Da Costa came along from the blinds.
Three checks put the action on Lonis and he bet 6,000 on the 8♥5♣4♣ flop. Schwippert made it 16,000, folding out Da Costa and Cunha. Lonis thought for a moment before calling.
On the 7♦ turn, Schwippert moved all in as the bigger stack. Lonis had between 40,000 and 50,000 and quickly called for his tournament life.
Jesse Lonis: 8♦6♦
Jan-Eric Schwippert: J♣8♣
Lonis had an eight-high straight while Schwippert had outs to the flush.
The A♣ river saw Lonis leave his chair as his opponent got there.
"I deserve it, nice hand," said Lonis.
Spragg, who'd been chatting away from the table, appeared shocked at Lonis leaving.
"I leave you alone for two minutes buddy," said a stunned Spragg. The duo exchanged a handshake before Lonis left the tournament room.
