Niklas Astedt came into Wednesday's World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event finale as a heavy favorite, but he left with a sour taste in his mouth.
The online poker legend known more affectionately known across the poker world as "Lena900" was the player to beat with three left in poker's world championship event. He had the biggest stack and the most experience playing at such a high level. But he'd make an abrupt exit from the tournament on Day 10 just two spots shy of the $10 million first place prize.
On a flop of 7♦2♦3♣, Michael Baltierra checked from the big blind and faced a bet of 175,000 from his opponent in early position. Baltierra check-raised to 400,000. Baltierra's opponent then three-bet to 1,100,000 and was met by a shove all-in from Baltierra for 3,530,000. The early position player snap-called and the cards were revealed.
Michael Baltierra: 3♥3♦
Early position: A♠7♣
Baltierra had his opponent drawing thin, and when the 9♥ turn came Baltierra had earned the double up. The 3♠ hit the river, improving Baltierra to quads, as he moved over the 7,000,000 chip mark.

According to the players, Zong Chi He had just moved to the table. At the start of the hand, he thought he was under the gun and wanted to fold his hand. He was then told he was actually the big blind and had to post it. Gal Naim opened under the gun and it folded around to He, who defended.
The flop came 7♥8♠7♣. After a check from He, Naim threw in a continuation bet of 200,000. He called.
The turn 6♦ got checked by both players.
On the river, which was the A♥, He checked again. Naim then bet 480,000 chips, to which He responded with an all in for 3,750,000 total. Naim needed some time to think. It was a massive pot and while he had He covered, he would have been crippled if he called and was wrong.
After some time, Naim put in the call. Very quickly, He said: “You win,” and turned over 8♣5♥ for the pair and turned open-ender. Naim jumped out of his seat and excitedly celebrated his call, which sent a pot of around 8,000,000 chips his way. His holding was A♦K♥ for the rivered aces up.
The dealer verified the chip counts to confirm He indeed was the shorter stack, and he headed to the rail.
