Short Stack Grindage Already for Spindler

We arrived just at the tail end of the hand, but there had clearly already been some very serious action, as there was already around 20,000 in the pot already. The board read {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} and there was an 8,000 bet or raise in front of Benny "Emo" Spindler's opponent.

Spindler considered his actions for a long time, and eventually decided to make the call. He pushed his 8,000 across the line, but when his opponent turned over {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for trips, he quietly mucked his hand and was left with 10,000 - just a third of his starting stack, and it's only level 1.

Furthermore his opponent demanded to see Spindler's mucked cards. The floor had to be called over to explain to the gentleman that SPindler was entitled to muck. Yikes.
