Spindler played this SO perfectly...

If you watch the other hands on this table, he is the chip leader and has been quite aggressive. A smooth call on the flop looks very suspicious (but still you'd put him on some kind of pair with a smooth call), a check on the turn looks less suspicious but still suspect. With the line he took, nobody on the table would have thought he had a Jack since it's consistent with his aggression.

The most you can think during the hand is "wouldn't it be sick IF..."

@IzaackPregel agreed, see my comment, same thing basically! great play :P best part is he put gomes on the high pair :)

oh and 1:50 isn't interesting play you stupid commentator its fucking elite play. Why would any one pot bet with quads on the flop into the PF raiser? exactly, they wouldn't. Gomes would smell bluff or weaker house.. beautiful.

the bullets are the best starting hand - u gotta play them good pre flop but at the end of the day there a 1 pair, dont drive them into the ground when the red lights are on post flop ay...
