Spindler Pot

The card room does seem quieter with a third of the players gone to dinner, but the action hasn't slowed down any.

Most recently at Table Hedlund, a double up for Benjamin Spindler. He got it in preflop with {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

against an opponent's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

and Peter Hedlund was loudly praying for a double-up for the short stack. It seems the poker gods were listening, as the board came down {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

. "How many full houses do you have there," wondered Hedlund, who appears to have no filter between his mind and his mouth. Any full house would be good enough, though, and Spindler stays in the game.
