Astedt Wins Amid Strange Dynamic
Niklas Astedt raised under the gun to 900, but when action folded to Christopher Roat in the hijack, he announced "Raise" before throwing in a 1,000 chip. A couple of players at the table then advised the dealer that Roat should be held to a raise of 1,400. Roat had no objections and put 1,400 into the middle.
Action then folded back to Astedt, who had new information to work with. After taking a second, he four-bet to 4,500 and Roat called, putting an end to the preflop drama.
Roat commented that this dynamic is a good way of getting yourself into trouble, before the two players went to a flop.
Astedt continued with a bet of 1,500 on the 7♦7♣9♣ flop, which was met with a raise to 4,500 by Roat. The clicking wasn't over yet, though, as Astedt three-bet to 12,000. This put an end to the hand, as Roat immediately returned his cards to the dealer.
