Anton Astapau Eliminated by Matt Affleck

(Details of this hand provided by Matt Affleck)

Astapau raises from early position and receives two callers, one being Matt Affleck (pictured) in the small blind.

The flop falls and Affleck leads out for 40,000. Astapau raises to 190,000, the third player folds, Affleck shoves with a covering stack, and Astapau calls all in for roughly 600,000.

Astapau:  
Affleck:  

Affleck’s top two pair is ahead, but Astapau has a ton of outs with bottom pair and a flush draw.

The turn and river complete the board, safe for Affleck to score the sizable elimination and seize the chip lead in the process.

Matt Affleck  –  1,560,000  (156 bb)
Anton Astapau  –  Eliminated
