Niklas "Lena900" Astedt Flying High in the $1,050 NLHE Deep Stack
Day 1 of WCOOP 65-H: $1,050 NLHE Deep Stack saw the 167-strong crowd reduced to only 16 hopefuls, one of whom is the Swedish online poker legend that is Niklas "Lena900" Astedt. Having seen several players near the all-time WCOOP leaderboard add to their titles, you can bet your bottom dollar that Astedt will be going all out to do the same.
Astedt returns for Day 2 with enough chips for sixth place. He'll lock horns and butt heads with such luminaries as Andras "probirs" Nemeth, Gabriel "gtavares" Tavares, and Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo, who each sit back down in the top 10. Also in contention are Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis and short-stack Dimitar "KuuL" Danchev.
Play resumes at 5:30 p.m. BST on September 21, with the returning 16 players vying for the $33,668 top prize.
