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.
