Astedt's Ace Enough at Showdown
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Niklas Astedt open raised to 13,000 from late position and Javid Ismayilov was the only player to call.
The flop came 8?2?8? and Astedt continued for 10,000, which Ismayilov called. The turn was the 8? and Astedt fired again for 12,000. Ismayilov called once more to see the river.
The river was the 6? and both players checked to showdown. Astedt had A?Q? for ace-high with the trip eights on board. It was enough to win the pot as Ismayilov mucked.
