Ben Spragg, known as “Spraggy” to both his opponents online and the viewers of his wildly popular Twitch stream, won a PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker title Monday while streaming the entire tournament.
When the final card was dealt and the title was officially his, the British pro gave his viewers quite a celebration.
“I’m the f***ing champion,” he yelled as he turned a full house, leaving his opponent drawing dead. “Oh my God!”
Spragg then jumped up on the bed behind him and nearly broke a plate in the process. You can watch the entire clip in the tweet below.
