Astedt Cannot Shake Off Lin; Watson Catches Thorel Bluffing

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a single-raised pot to the {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Niklas Astedt check-raised from 7,000 to 20,000 out of the big blind. Ren Lin as the preflop aggressor called and Astedt then checked the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Lin bet 41,000 and that won the pot.

"Seven no good?" the Swede inquired and Lin shook his head.

Soon after at the same table, Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 8,000 and Mike Watson called. Thorel check-called a bet worth 7,000 on the {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop before both checked the {j-Diamonds} turn. Thorel led the {4-Clubs} river for 20,000 and Watson called, getting shown {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for a bluff, which he had beat holding {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.
