Niklas Astedt opened tp 12,000 from under the gun, Gurgen Melkonyan called in the small blind, and Eugene Katchalov three-bet to 31,000 from the big blind. Astedt four-bet to 58,000, Melkonyan folded, and Katchalov five-bet to 100,000.

Astedt grabbed all of his red T25,000 chips, pushing out a six-bet, and Katchalov moved all in for 348,000. Astedt called.

Katchalov: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Astedt: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and Katchalov doubled to over 700,000 chips. Astedt was left with just 30,000 and busted shortly thereafter.
