Klein Hits River to Double Short Stack
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Niklas Astedt raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and after losing the majority of his stack in previous hands, Morten Klein moved all in from the button for his remaining 33,000. Astedt flicked in a call to put Klein at risk as players turned their cards.
Morten Klein: A♣J♠ 
Niklas Astedt: A♥K♦
Astedt remained ahead until the river as the board ran out 9♥6♠8♣6♥J♣, but Klein paired his jack to win the pot, doubling up his stack.
"What's happening?", asked a neutral player. "Yesterday you lost with ace-king versus ace-ten and now this?"
"I know," shrugged Astedt after handing over the chips to Klein.
