WCOOP Showdown: What happens when Spraggy squares off against brother and Ambassadors?
If you enjoy PokerStars’ Big Game On Tour and one-off live-streamed games like Chris Eubank Jr’s appearance at EPT Monte Carlo in May, then you’ll love this.
PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg recently hosted a special home game at Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn casino. It was called the WCOOP Showdown, and we’ll explain why in a sec.
Joining Spraggy were his fellow Ambassadors Fintan Hand, Adam McIlroy, and Kerryjane Craigie. They also enjoyed the company of tournament pro extraordinaire David Docherty and YouTuber/football club owner Spencer “SpencerFC” Owen.
But there was another guest who made things particularly exciting: Spraggy’s brother, Dan Spragg. The social media star is no stranger to the game (we spoke to him on a break at UKIPT Nottingham last year), so make sure you tune in and watch the brothers battle.
This special mystery bounty Sit & Go brought big personalities and even bigger surprises to the felt. The gang discussed the upcoming WCOOP Boot Camp (which kicks off this Sunday) and competed to win WCOOP tournament tickets.
Who will outplay, outlast, and uncover the biggest bounties? Watch now to find out.

WHAT IS WCOOP Boot Camp?
The training series returns with $9M gtd…
Get yourself championship ready with WCOOP Boot Camp – a 67-event warm-up series running August 3-18 with $9 million guaranteed, designed to help casual poker players prepare for WCOOP and get a taste of what playing a series is like (if you’ve never played one before).
Each event has two buy-in levels – Low and High – meaning there are 134 tournaments overall with buy-ins starting from as little as $2.20.
Players not only love WCOOP due to its history and prestige, but they also love it because of the different poker games you get to play; the myriad of fun tournament formats in the mix; and last but not least, the huge prizes on offer.
WCOOP Boot Camp replicates all of that, and at the low buy-in level, it does so at a fraction of the cost.
