C’mon, Ben “Spraggy” Spragg. You must have seen this coming, surely?
As you can see, Poker Twitter united to call the Spraggster’s bluff, reaching 1,200 likes at the time of writing.
A 24-hour stream commenced.
Just saw the like tabulations. There is NO WAY this got 1000 likes!!! This was a 100% RIGGED TWEET. https://t.co/aCXMvC8idn

At times, things got weird.
At other times, things were pretty darn funny.

But you didn’t think he was going to play poker for the full 24 hours, did you?
Heard you fell asleep and mostly played games?
What was the point?

After 24 hours, three minutes, and six seconds, Spraggy’s mission was complete.
Fintan vs Arlie
Nothing pleases us more than seeing two of our beloved PokerStars Ambassadors go head to head in a battle for blood.
It’s even better when they then share it on social media for us to laugh at.
Here’s Fintan’s side of things:
Have a nice weekend @ArlieShaban pic.twitter.com/89xrJWy3GO

Followed by Arlie’s:

Clips of the week
Sweet, sweet justice.
WTF
Pacific Rim win for Majincast.
Feels great.
You p!#@k.
You get a straight flush! And you get a straight flush!
Imagine going all-in with queens!
Then Fintan went all-in with queens. What a day to be alive.
The sound you make when you turn the nizzles.
The seven is always coming.
Tweets of the week
For banter, we’ve got to give it to Spraggy:
With a very strict one account per player and no name change policy how come 'L.Veldhuis' is now listed as 'L.Veldhuis [4]' everytime I see him in tournamen lobbies? Explain please @PokerStars @LexVeldhuis

But we also loved hearing that streamer Lukas “RobinPoker” Robinson’s dad almost took down a MicroMillions event.
But gutted in 3rd place but nice run! 👍 https://t.co/u8tuwAaD88

And congratulations to Jonas “Palsgaard1” Palsgaard on this fantastic score.
Feels fucking great on my longest downswing ever to finally get blessed by the poker gods to ship a good one. Also feel thankful that my opportunity to keep working with what I love hasn’t changed much even tho we got the COVID-19 #positivity #alwayslightattheendofthetunnel pic.twitter.com/2zqMP2ONT1
