Astedt's Comeback Begins
Niklas Astedt was all-in from the small blind for 12,000 on a flop of 3?3?2?. Enrico Camosci checked from the big blind and Roman Hrabec followed suit with a check from early position. Pavel Svach bet 30,000 from the button, which forced a fold from Camosci, but a check-raise to 80,000 from Hrabec. Svach called.
The 4? came on the turn and Hrabec opted to check-fold to a bet of 80,000 from Svach. Svach would win the main pot and the cards were revealed, with Astedt needing a lot of help.
Niklas Astedt: Q?2? 
Pavel Svach: 5?4?
Astedt needed to find a queen or a deuce on the river or he would bust the Main Event. The dealer dropped a miracle 2? on the river to give Astedt the best hand with a boat. Astedt's response to rivering the winner was:
"The comeback is real boys"
