Niklas Astedt Eliminated in 3rd Place ($4,000,000)
Hand #170- Niklas Astedt raised to 8,000,000 on the button, Jordan Griff three-bet to 28,000,000 in the small blind, and Astedt called.
The flop came 10♣9♦3♦ and Griff bet 28,000,000. Astedt called and the J♣ fell on the turn. Griff then moved all in for 159,000,000.
Astedt asked for a count and ripped off his sunglasses as he stared over at Griff. Leaning on the rail of the table, Astedt spent several minutes in the tank before calling with nearly an identical stack.
Griff showed 9♠9♣ for a set of nines and Astedt instantly grimaced as he turned over K♠J♦ for top pair. Astedt needed a queen to make a straight, but he missed the K♥ river as the start-of-day chip leader was sent to the rail in third place.
Griff and Jonathan Tamayo are taking a short break while the table is set up for heads-up play.
