Astedt Doubles Up with Aces
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Stephen Song in the hijack opened to 300,000, then Niklas Astedt in the cutoff three-bet to 800,000. The button and the blinds folded, and Song decided to four-bet all-in. Astedt looked at his cards and snap-called.
Niklas Astedt: A♥A♣ 
Stephen Song: A♠3♠
Even if he had aces, Astedt was not guaranteed to win as the flop of J♠8♠10♣ gave a flush draw to Song. The 2♣ turn didn't change anything, and Astedt was able to double his 6,100,000 chip stack after the 9♣ river.
