Spindler Loses Some

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Benny Spidnler played a three-bet pot out of position and it cost him some chips.

He opened to 6,000 from under the gun and called when Victor Sbrissa three-bet to 13,500 from two seats along. On the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop Sbrissa continued for 15,700 and Spindler check-called. Both players checked the {q-Clubs} turn to head to the {10-Clubs} river.

Spindler checked again and called when Sbrissa bet 23,000. The Brazilian opened {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Spindler mucked.

Kenney Killed; Blom Colered; Others Bust

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

PokerNews ran into Bryn Kenney in the cash game room and he confirmed that he busted with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} to an opponent's aces. He flopped a flush draw but failed to hit. He joked that the board ran out with diamonds to try and tease him that they might be hearts.

Benny Spindler informed us that Viktor Blom was ousted when he was set over set'd by Victor Sbrissa, who is up to 210,000.

Paul Volpe, Andreas Eiler and Erik Seidel all busted early as well.
