Spindler Doubles Again; Regains Chip Lead
Just like Keven Stammen took away Benny Spindler's chips by scoring one double up after another, now Spindler is taking them away in the same fashion.
Stammen called the big blind and Spindler raised to 130,000. Stammen called and the dealer opened the flop: . Spindler continued for 150,000 and Stammen made the call.
The on the turn was followed by a 250,000 bet by Spindler and Stammen called again. Spindler slowed down on the river with a check and Stammen shoved all in sending Spindler to the tank. He recounted his chips, shook his head, almost mucked his hand, but finally made the call pushing in 1,5 million chips and opened for a pair of fives.
Surprisingly enough it was good enough to collect the pot as Stammen opened for nothing more than a flush draw and Spindler doubled up regaining the chip lead.
