"Lucky Boy" Astedt Cracks Aces to Double Up

Maxime Taldir

Niveau 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened to 8,000 from the button and called after Niklas Astedt in the small blind three-bet to 22,000.

Astedt continued for 15,000 on the 6♦10♥5♥ flop, then fired a second barrel of 20,000 on the A♠ turn. Tsiareshchanka called both times.

The K♦ river completed the board and Astedt shoved for 56,500. Tsiareshchanka snap-called.

Niklas Astedt: Q♠J♦ All in
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka: A♦A♣

"Lucky boy," Teun Mulder joked when he discovered that Astedt cracked aces with a straight. Thanks to this hand, "Lena900" doubled up.
