Astedt Eliminated by Van Hoof

AaronMcBride

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Three players went to a flop with the pot already escalated to a huge 75,000.

Niklas Astedt was first to ace and moved all in for around 25,000 before Jorryt van Hoof made a quick call.

"I can now reveal I did not realize there was a raise before me preflop, but I was too tilted to fold" admitted Alexander Petersen while slowly peaking at his hand before he folded.

Astedt tabled for top set with Van Hoof holding for a flush draw as well as a straight draw.

The turn gave Van Hoff the straight to take the lead, and he cemented the pot by hitting a flush on the river.

Astedt departs for the second and final time today.

AaronMcBride

At 2 pm local time, the second €10,300 buy-in event of the 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague gets underway as the attention switches to Pot-Limit Omaha at the Hilton Prague.

Earlier this week, Akin Tuna took down the opening €10,300 No-Limit Hold'em event of the festival after he came through a 38 player field which included a heads-up battle with Ognyan Dimov to scoop the €125,330 first-place prize.

12 months ago, Sweden's Niklas Astedt took home €81,600 for victory in this PLO event as part of the PokerStars Championship Prague, following a heads-up battle with Finland's Sampo Ryynanen.

When the action gets underway in this two-day event, each player will sit down with a 50,000 chip stack, with 14 40-minute levels scheduled for Day 1. There will be a 20-minute break at the end of level 3, 6 and 12, with a 75-minute dinner break scheduled for the end of level 8 (approximately 8 pm). Late registration will be open until the end of the dinner break, and players are allowed a single re-entry.

1	100	200
2	100	300
