Andrian Makes Tough Call for Chop
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Niklas Astedt open-raised to 3,500 from late position and Simone Andrian called on the button.
The flop came 10♥A♠K♦ and Astedt continued for 3,000, which Andrian called. The turn was the 7♣ and Astedt sized up to 11,000, which Andrian again called.
The 7♠ river paired the board, but that didn't deter Astedt, who placed 70,000 in the middle, putting Andrian all in. It wasn't an easy decision for Andrian, who twiddled his chips and went into the tank before making the call.
Astedt had A♥4♣ and Andrian turned over A♣J♠, both players showing paired aces, chopping the pot with the pair of sevens and king high on board.
Astedt has had a good run since he was last reported on, chipping up to around 170,000.
