Spindler Takes Care of Hellmuth

[user66118]

Phil Hellmuth - Out

Phil Hellmuth limped in from the button, and Benny Spindler put out a big stack of covering chips to put the Brat to the test. Hellmuth called all-in for his last 9,000.

Showdown
Hellmuth: {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

Spindler:

{8-?}

{7-?}

The flop was pretty good for Hellmuth, as the {J-?}

{J-?}

{10-?}

{4-?}

gave both players a gutshot straight draw but changing nothing. The turn was not as safe though; a {7-?}

{7-?}

peeled off to pair Spindler and leave Hellmuth drawing from behind. Another {J-?}

{J-?}

paired the board on the river, and that's the end of Phil Hellmuth.

Benny Spindler is a strong, strong heads-up player, and he has advanced to round two.
