Astedt Has a Beautiful Hand
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Niklas Astedt opened to 3,000 from early position before Corel Theuma, the winner of WSOPE Event #1, three-bet to 8,500. Astedt called.
Astedt, getting a massage, check-called for 6,500 on the Qx9x6x flop, bringing in the J♦ turn. Both players checked and the K♠ river completed the board. Astedt fired out 21,000, releasing a sigh from Theuma. He used up a time bank before folding his hand.
Astedt was kind enough to show Theuma he had a straight with J♥10♥.
"It's such a beautiful hand, I had to show you," Astedt said, dragging in the pot.
