A player in early position limped in, Aditya Prasetyo raised to 1,500 a couple seats over, the small blind called, and the limper called the remainder to create three-way action.

The flop was Kd8d2c. It checked to Prasetyo, who bet 2,300, and only the small blind called. Heads up now, the turn was the 3s. The small blind checked, Prasetyo bet 4,500, and the small blind called. The river was the 2d. The small blind checked for a third time, and Prasetyo set him all in for about 9,500 effective. The small blind mucked with some visible frustration, and Prasetyo won the pot.

A native of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Prasetyo has become a dangerous player over the past few years, and he’s posted some significant results in this building. Earlier this year, he finished as the runner-up to Chino Rheem in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Finale, earning nearly a half-million dollars. He’s off to a good start in this Championship, as well, now sitting with more than twice his starting stack.
