Oikonomou Sends Astedt Into Minutes-Long Tank
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Elmir Ndoj raised to 1,200 under the gun. Niklas Astedt three-bet to 3,500 in middle position and was called by Panagiotis Oikonomou on the button and Arturo Paduano in the big blind.
Ndoj also tossed in the extra chips, after which a flop of Q♦2♦J♠ was dealt. It checked to Astedt, who bet 2,500. Oikonomou was the only caller as Ndoj mucked 7♥7♦ and Paduano folded 10♠10♦.
The 5♣ turn went check-check and Astedt checked again on the 9♦ river. Oikonomou fired a big bet of 12,600 and Astedt mulled it over for a long time before finally deciding to call.
Oikonomou turned over 9♥9♣ for a rivered set, beating Astedt's hero call with K♦J♥ for second pair.
