Hafner Wins a Battle of the Blinds Against Astrauskas

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Lukas Hafner completed from the small blind, and Arturas Astrauskas raised to 2,100 from the big blind. Hafner called.

The 9♥7♦4♣ flop checked through before the 4♥ arrived on the turn. Hafner bet 1,700, and Astrauskas called.

The 10♦ completed the board, and Hafner fired 6,000. Astrauskas thought it over before eventually folding, flashing A♥J♦ for ace-high as he did.

Hafner declined to reveal his hand and instead quietly stacked his newly acquired chips.
