Jargalsaikhan Holds Against Sprague
Stephen Sprague got it going with a raise to 3,400 from under the gun. Nero Chualong called out of the middle position, while David Lin joined with a call on the button. Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan wanted to thin the crowd as he went all-in for 27,400 from the small blind.
Sprague made the call to put Jargalsaikhan at risk, while Chualong and Lin folded as the remaining two players went to a showdown.
Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan: 10♣10♥
