Astedt Captures Chip Lead
Level 39
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 62,500 ante
Niklas "Lena900" Astedt opened for 1,100,000 chips from under the gun and Ivan "ILS007" Stokes made the call from the small blind. Stokes then check-called Astedt's 2,250,000 bet on the 4♥2♥8♠ flop before the 8♣ turn was checked through.
The 5♠ river then completed the board and Stokes checked for a third time. Astedt came out with a bet of 5,850,000, and after some thinking time, Stokes let his hand go, granting the chip lead to Astedt.
