Astedt Makes Full House to Double Up
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Elias Suhonen raised to 35,000 from late position and Niklas Astedt called in the big blind.
The flop came 9?9?8? and Astedt checked. Suhonen bet 20,000 and Astedt check-raised to 52,000. Suhonen was having none of it and moved all in, which Astedt quickly called with the smaller stack of 208,000.
Astedt showed K?9? for trip nines, while Suhonen flipped over Q?10? for a straight flush draw.
"Not what I wanted to see," said Astedt.
But the turn came the 8? to give him a full house, leaving Suhonen drawing thin to the J?. The river was the 5? and Astedt doubled his stack, leaving Suhonen with less than two big blinds.
