Spindler Missteps
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
The tail end of a pot, but a noteworthy one as it cost Benny Spindler more than half his stack.
When we walked up to the table, the board was already out on the table, and Rino Mathis had put out a bet of 21,000 into a pot of about that much. Benny Spindler was right next door, and he made an ill-fated raise to 55,000. Mathis instantly made the call, and Spindler could plainly tell that his was no good. Indeed, Mathis turned over for the set, and that pot moves him up over 200,000 now.
Spindler was more than cut in half with that loss, dropping all the way back to 57,000.
