A Surprising Amundsgard Move Wins the Pot
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Some hands promise much early on and fizzle out. A hand between Ola Amundsgard and Benny stack looked to be heading that way, and even though no cards were shown, it had a little surprise at the end.
Amundsgard raised to 1,000 from the hijack after an early position limp before Spindler three-bet to 2,800 from the next seat. The limper folded but Amundsgard made the call to see a 
flop appear. The action there, and on the 
turn, was checked and the river came as the 
. Amundsgard checked for a third time and Spindler bet 1,600. The Norwegian then came in with a surprise check-raise up to 11,200.
Spindler was a bit taken back by raise and probably the size of it. He tanked for two minuted before throwing his cards into the muck.
