Astedt Bombs the River
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
With the board showing 
and a big pot already in the middle, Niklas Astedt slid forward a tower of pink 5,000 chips for a bet totaling 85,000.
His opponent in the small blind tanked for about two minutes before calling. Astedt turned over 
for the flopped set that became a full house on the river and the small blind mucked, claiming to have had ace-king.
"Nice hand. Very, very nice hand," he told Astedt.
"That makes it easier," Astedt replied when told what his opponent was holding.
