Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Niklas Astedt raised to 18,000 under the gun and Thomas Muehloecker three-bet to 42,000 in the hijack. Gregoire Auzoux four-bet shoved all in for 351,000 which put Astedt in the tank. The Swede asked for a count and then used two of his time banks before letting his hand go. Muehloecker quickly did the same and Auzoux collected the pot.
On the next hand, Ben Heath opened to 19,000 on the button and Astedt called from the big blind. The flop came 
and Astedt checked to Heath who bet 12,000. Astedt check-raised to 47,000 and Heath instantly mucked his cards.
