Roy vs. Spindler; WPT vs. EPT
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
It was dubbed the battle of the WPT champ versus the EPT champ; Germany versus Canada; man versus man. Okay, it wasn't a boxing match, but Joanthan Roy and Benny Spindler played out a hand.
The action had reached the turn with around 25,000 in the middle and the board read 
. Roy checked from the big blind and called when Spindler bet 11,500 from under the gun. The 
came on the river and Roy checked again.
Spindler thought (it seemed) about betting but ultimately checked behind and opened 
. Roy showed 
for a pair of nines and took the pot.
