Astedt Loses Consecutive Hands to Bust
In a hand between Niklas Astedt under the gun and Eleftherios Sinnos in the big blind, around 45,000 was in the middle on a board of Q?9?3?9?.
Sinnos led out with a bet of 16,000 and Astedt called.
The 4? river completed the board, and Sinnos fired out a bet of 60,000. Astedt went into the tank, with about 110,000 behind, and after burning through three timebanks he made the call.
Sinnos showed 9?7? for the turned trip nines, and Astedt mucked.
In the next hand, action folded to Christopher Nguyen on the button, who opened to 15,000, with Astedt defending the big blind.
On the K?Q?J? flop, Astedt check-called versus a 50,000 bet covering his remaining stack.
Niklas Astedt: K?7? 
Christopher Nguyen: A?10?
Astedt had flopped top pair but was drawing to a chop versus Nguyen's flopped nut straight, with the 6? turn and J? river confirming Astedt's departure.
