Astedt's Stack Takes Hit
Action was picked up on a flop of 2?9?8? where Niklas Astedt bet 150,000 from the small blind into a pot of around 530,000. Pieter Aerts made the call from under the gun.
Astedt slowed down on the 2? turn, electing to check. Aerts continued to barrel this time for 300,000. Astedt called once again before checking the 8? river. Here Aerts fired a bet of 1,000,000. "Lena900" went deep into the tank as to whether to call off most of his stack. He glanced over to Aerts who was statuesque.
He burned a few of his time banks and shuffled his chips in his hands while glancing over at Aerts. A few more time banks go by. Juan Pardo and Daniel Dvoress on the neighboring table glanced over to see what was going on. Astedt committed two more time banks while Aerts hadn't moved a muscle other than to blink.
Ultimately, Astedt mucked his hand, leaving Aerts with a sizeable pot.
