Spindler Still Firing, Caught This Time

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We walked up to the turn of a {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {A-Spades} board to see Jeff Hakim check. We're guessing Benny Spindler had bet the flop to create the pot of just less than 8,000, but he checked behind here to see the cheap river. It was the {4-Clubs}, and now Hakim led out with a tiny bet of 2,400. Spindler took pause to mull it over before dropping two yellow chips into the pot for a raise to 10,000. Hakim didn't seem to like it, but he studied Spindler for a few minutes before making what was the correct call.

Showdown
Spindler: {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Hakim: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Hakim's queens up were good, and he'll drag that pot to knock Spindler down to about 23,500.
