Astedt Good at Showdown

Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Chris Dowling opened to 2,500 in the hijack and was called by Niklas Astedt in the cutoff, and Nils Pudel in the big blind.
On the Q?Q?6? flop action was checked to Astedt, who put out a bet of 2,500. Only Dowling called.
Dowling check-called a bet of 6,500 from Astedt on the 4? turn.
The river rolled off the 4? and both players checked.
Dowling verbally announced king-high, while Astedt turned over 8?8? for two pair queens and eights, sending him the pot.
