Spindler Missteps

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The tail end of a pot, but a noteworthy one as it cost Benny Spindler more than half his stack.

When we walked up to the table, the {4-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Spades} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs} board was already out on the table, and Rino Mathis had put out a bet of 21,000 into a pot of about that much. Benny Spindler was right next door, and he made an ill-fated raise to 55,000. Mathis instantly made the call, and Spindler could plainly tell that his {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} was no good. Indeed, Mathis turned over {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} for the set, and that pot moves him up over 200,000 now.

Spindler was more than cut in half with that loss, dropping all the way back to 57,000.
