Niklas Astedt Eliminated in 22nd Place ($51,641)
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Niklas Astedt raised to 250,000 preflop over a limper and Manh Nguyen three-bet to 750,000. The limper got out of the way while Astedt made the call.
The flop came K?Q?3?. Astedt checked, Nguyen shoved and Astedt, who had around 600,000 behind, called off and was at risk.
Niklas Astedt: A?K?8?2? 
Manh Nguyen: A?K?Q?J?
Astedt's top pair was in rough shape against Nguyen who had top two pair with a draw to the nut-straight. The rest of the board ran out K?6? giving Nguyen kings full of queens to take the pot and send the online legend to the rail in 22nd place.
