Mandara Pips Astedt
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ryan Mandara opened to 160,000 from early position and Niklas Astedt called out of the big blind.
They went to a flop of Q♣6♠A♥ where Astedt check-called a bet of 115,000 from Mandara to see the 2♦ drop on the turn. Astedt went into check-call mode again when Mandara fired 460,000.
The river brought a 7♥ and after Astedt checked, Mandara took his time before he knuckled back. Astedt confidently flipped A♦10♥ for top pair, but Mandara held A♠J♦ for top pair with a better kicker to take the pot.
