Thorel Dusts Off Astedt

David Salituro

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J?5?4?, Niklas Astedt bet 6,000 from the hijack before Jean-Noel Thorel moved all in from middle position. Astedt quickly called for around 20,000 more.

Niklas Astedt: A?9?
Jean-Noel Thorel: Q?Q?

Astedt needed to improve against Thorel's queens as the 3? turn kept Thorel in the lead. "Flush," Astedt pleaded, but he instead saw the 7? fall on the river to send him to the rail.
