Astedt Wins Big with a Low Pair
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Guillermo Sanchez Otero opened to 1,000,000 from the cutoff before calling a three-bet to 4,000,000 from Niklas Astedt out of the big blind.
Astedt continued for 4,500,000 on the 8♥4♣6♠ flop but was unable to shake off Otero, who flatted.
Action checked through the 7♦ turn to the 3♦ where Astedt checked once more. Otero checked back and Astedt tabled Q♠3♠, which was good enough to take down a large pot.
