Niklas Åstedt
Niklas Åstedt

The board came down {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Niklas Astedt bet from the small blind. His opponent in the big blind was Alex Foxen, and the American was in the tank before he smiled at Astedt and folded.

"Show the bluff," said another player at the table.

"I wish I could" replied Astedt, and shared a laugh with Foxen.

It will be an interesting battle between the two, with Astedt, who is more commonly known as 'Lena900' in the online streets, facing off against Foxen is also known for his online prowess.

Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman

Barny Boatman raised under-the-gun to 2,200 and the action folded around to the big blind who defended.

The dealer spread a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, the big blind checked and Boatman continued for 1,300 which the big blind said, "I'm not sure who you're saving chips for but it's one of us." as he called.

The {9-Hearts} fell on the turn and after being checked to Boatman bet out 3,000 and his opponent made the call. The {a-Clubs} hit the river and both players checked. The big blind tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for two pairs, aces and sixes, while Boatman tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for aces and queens and scooped the pot.

The turn came the {8-Clubs} and Grybas checked again. Rini fired a bet of 40,000 and Grybas went deep into the tank.

"You have the jacks this time?" asked Grybas. Rini didn't react and Grybas took another minute of reflection then let it go.

Rini showed the {a-Diamonds} before raking in the pot.

"Diamond, that's good," commented Grybas.

Vemparala Survives

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Srikant Vemparala got it all in for 15,100 in middle position and a player in the big blind was agonizing. Finally, he made the call with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} but was well behind {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board brought nothing to threaten Vemparala and he collected a double.
