Niklas “Lena900” Astedt enjoyed a remarkable Sunday at PokerStars, helping himself to almost $130,000 thanks to a brace of impressive victories in high stakes tournaments. Astedt took down the $5,200 Titans Event, won the $1,050 Sunday Supersonic, and was the runner-up in the $1,050 High Roller. What a guy.

The bulk of Astedt’s Sunday haul stemmed from him coming out on top of the star-studded $5,200 Titans Event. Sixty-eight of the world’s best poker tournament players bought in and fought it out tooth and nail for a slice of the $340,000 prize pool. Each of the nine finalists locked in no less than $10,000, with the champion, Astedt, taking home $91,769.

Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi fell in ninth for $10,600 before Marius “DEX888” Gierse ran out of steam and chip, falling in eighth for $12,135. Then came the demise of Ognyan “cocojamb0” Dimov in seventh, a finish good for $16,202.

Sixth place and $21,632 went to Canada’s “Stumpfed.” The Canadian later went on to win the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up for more than $19,000.

Michael “imluckbox” Addamo and Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski were the next casualties. The talented duo padded their bankrolls with $28,881 and $38,560, respectively. Heads-up was set when Christian “WATnlos” Rudolph bowed out in third, doing so with $51,482 in tow.

Astedt locked horns with “SerVlaMin” heads-up, and the writing was on the wall for the latter. Astedt rarely loses when he finds himself in a one-on-one battle, and this was not one of those rare times. The Swedish superstar eliminated SerVlaMin in second place, and reeled in $91,769 for his victory, resigning the runner-up to a $68,735 consolation prize.

Victory Number Two for Astedt

The $1,050 Sunday Supersonic saw a compact field of 39 entrants create a $39,618 prize pool, which Astedt claimed $15,544 from. Only the top five finishers received a slice of the pot, with the Czech grinder Vojta “vojta555cz Skalak helping himself to the $2,859 fifth-place prize.

Hungarian poker legend Peter “Belabacsi” Traply busted in fourth for $4,366, and “zerodeda” fell in third for $6,667, which left Astedt heads-up against the aforementioned “Stumpfed.” Again, Astedt got the job done at the business end of the tournament and collected $15,544, leaving Stumpfed to bank a $10,180 second-place payout.
