Spragg Leaves Arapi With a Single Chip, Offers Words of Encouragment
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dritan Arapi made a big open to 17,500 from the hijack and Dan Spragg shoved from the small blind for 59,500. When it got back to Arapi, he called and covered his opponent by just 500.
Dan Spragg: A♥K♠ 
Dritan Arapi: A♦J♣
Both players paired their ace on the A♣6♠3♠ flop, but it was the kicker that kept Spragg in the lead. No help arrived for Arapi on the 4♦ turn or 5♥ river, and he was left with just a fraction of a big blind.
"Chip and a chair mate, that's all you need," said Spragg.
