Adi Prasetyo (Cambridge, MA)
While Adi Prasetyo cruised through the rest of the final table, heads up play was a bumpy, bumpy road. He started heads up play with a slight chip lead but after losing a few sizable pots in a row, the high bet limits saw his stack dwindling. There were a few strange hands, with Marc Matz catching a flush on the river but miscalling his hand, as he held {10c}{10d}{7h}{4h} on a board of {9h}{8h}{7s}{Qc}{Kh}, without seeing what he hit on the end.
Prasetyo’s {Qx}{8x}{4x}{3x} went into the muck and in the next hand, Mattz won another decently sized pot with {10c}{6c}{6d}{3c}. It was good on the {Jd}{Jc}{2s}{5h}{Qd} board, as Prasetyo couldn’t beat Matz’s pair. That left Prasetyo with just under 60,000 and that short stack got in on the next hand.
He doubled with {10h}{8d}{7h}{7c} against {10c}{7s}{3c}{2d} on a board of {Kc}{10s}{4s}{9s}{Ks} and felt good, saying he “only needed one more”, referencing another double. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t get another, as the two got six bets each in pre flop, with Prasetyo holding {Ax}{8x}{5x}{2x} to Matz’s {Ac}{Jh}{6s}{4h}.
The flop hit both players, as the {Jd}{4s}{3h} board gave Matz two pair and Prasetyo straight and low outs. Neither came though, as the {Kc} and {Kh} completed the board and ended this one-sided heads up match.
Prasetyo couldn’t seem to catch a break when this final table got down to it’s final two but he will be able to take home just over $3,300 for his runner-up finish.
