Astedt Makes Full House to Double Up
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Elias Suhonen raised to 35,000 from late position and Niklas Astedt called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♠9♦8♦ and Astedt checked. Suhonen bet 20,000 and Astedt check-raised to 52,000. Suhonen was having none of it and moved all in, which Astedt quickly called with the smaller stack of 208,000.
Astedt showed K♥9♥ for trip nines, while Suhonen flipped over Q♦10♦ for a straight flush draw.
"Not what I wanted to see," said Astedt.
But the turn came the 8♥ to give him a full house, leaving Suhonen drawing thin to the J♦. The river was the 5♥ and Astedt doubled his stack, leaving Suhonen with less than two big blinds.
