"Lena" Gets Out of Line
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Elmir Ndoj saw A♠10♣ in the hijack and raised to 1,200. Niklas Astedt decided to three-bet to 4,000 on the button, prompting Markus Lehner to call cold in the small blind.
Ndoj folded his hand, leaving the other players heads up on a flop of Q♥2♥9♠. Lehner checked, Astedt put in a continuation-bet of 3,000, and Lehner called.
On the 3♣ turn, Astedt kept up the pressure with a bet of 12,000. Lehner was not convinced, however, and check-called.
Lehner's third check followed on the 4♦ river. Astedt took some thinking time before checking back. Lehner showed 7♦7♣ for third pair, and Astedt mucked his adventurous J♠3♠.
