Spindler Picks Off Bergstrom's Big Bluff
Benny Spindler opened with a raise from the cutoff seat to 120,000. His only customer was Mattias Bergstrom acting out of the big blind. He made the call and the flop came down 
. Bergstrom checked and Spindler fired a continuation bet worth 140,000. Bergstrom wanted to make it a bit more and check-raised to 460,000. Spindler called.
The turn card was the 
and Bergstrom pressed a bit harder. He bet a hefty 700,000, but that didn't scare off Spindler just yet. He called and the dealer placed the 
out on the river, completing a possible flush draw. Bergstrom fired the same bet he did on the previous street, 700,000. Spindler made the call.
Bergstrom could only muster five high when he turned his hand over. He held the 
for a big bluff that was picked off. Spindler held the 
for two pair and scooped in the massive pot.
