Ace on the River Ends Thuritz
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov opened from middle position before Niklas Astedt three-bet out of the cutoff. Mikael Thuritz four-bet jammed for around 90,000, which got Kuznetsov to fold, but Astedt instantly called.
Mikael Thuritz: J♥J♣ 
Niklas Astedt: A♣K♦
It was a flip that saw Thuritz's pair of jacks stay ahead on the 7♣3♥10♥ flop and 5♥ turn. Astedt needed an ace or king on the river that wasn't a heart, and he found one in the form of the A♦. Thuritz headed for the exit, and Astedt moved up to 340,000.
