The players at the table were eager to explain his entire demise.
The first hand had a board showing . Barry Forrester bet out. Spencer raised to 150,000. Forrester called. Spencer showed for a full house before Forrester revealed for a higher full house.
The next hand saw Spencer and Forrester get it all in preflop. Spencer was dominated holding pocket queens versus Forrester's pocket kings. Nothing would change and Forrester would double up.
In the final hand Spencer announced he was all in for his last 40,000 and pushed the chips forward before the cards were even dealt.
Allen Yu obliged and made the call. Spencer showed and was behind to Yu's .
The board ran out to see Yu improve to a pair on the flop resulting in Spencer being sent to the rail.
