Astapau Takes One From Bantick
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Anton Astapau opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and Brit Stephen Bantick three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind. Astapau tanked for two minutes before announcing a four-bet of 34,000 in total and Bantick called.
The flop came down 
and Bantick checked it over to Astapau who hit the think tank once more before declaring a bet of 24,000. Bantick quickly folded and Astapau scooped the pot to climb to 137,000. Bantick still has a sizeable stack and is sitting on around 400,000.
