Eights Prove Great for Spindler

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

When we arrived at Table 25, Benny Spindler had 16,500 out in front of him on the button and Philipp Gruissem had 60,000 or so out in front from the small blind. Spindler tanked before moving all in for 72,900, and Gruissem called.

Gruissem: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Spindler: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Gruissem flinched upon seeing his pocket pair was dominated, and he sent over nearly half his stack after the board ran out a dry {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.
