Astedt Doubles in a Five-Bet Pot
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Belarmino De Souza raised to 4,000 from middle position before Cecile Ticherfatine three-bet to 14,000 from the cutoff. Niklas Astedt then four-bet out of the small blind to 30,000. De Souza folded, but Ticherfatine five-bet to 55,000. Astedt called, leaving himself with roughly 50,000 behind.
With over 115,000 in the pot, Astedt check-called a bet of 14,000 from Ticherfatine on the A♠9♠3♣ flop.
When the 7♣ came on the turn, Astedt led all-in for 35,000 and Ticherfatine reluctantly called.
Niklas Astedt: A♣K♣ 
Cecile Ticherfatine: K♠K♦
Astedt had spiked an ace on the flop to leave Ticherfatine with one out available to bust him. The 7♦ fell on the river and Astedt had doubled through Ticherfatine.
