Nice To See You Mr. Suharto

We were walking through the orange section and we noticed a player who has graced the ESPN cameras before. It was Darus Suharto, who made the final table of the 2008 Main Event, finishing in 6th. Suharto has laid relatively low since that result, posting just five live results in the last three years. However, he is here today and he just won a nice sized pot.

We missed the action before, but Suharto had a short stack all in in a coin flip. Suharto held {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and his opponent had {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}. The flop came out {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, giving his opponent more outs for a counterfeit. The {q-Diamonds} came on the turn, and Suharto would have to dodge a king, queen, jack, or five on the river. That card was the {a-Diamonds}, which was safe for Suharto. He took the pot, and now has a stack over 60,000.
