Prasetyo's Not Going to Bed Yet

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

With 19,000 in the middle, Aditya Prasetyo was already all in before the {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop.

There were still two players live on the side and the small blind checked to the player on the button who put in a bet. The small blind quickly got out of the way and both hands were tabled.

Aditya Prasetyo: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Button: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Prasetyo was behind to the flop pair of queens and the {4-Clubs} on the turn was no help. The {j-Clubs} on the river gave Prasetyo the nut-straight though to scoop the pot.

"I was going to go to bed," laughed Prasetyo as he collected his chips.
