Ganesh Celebrates Too Soon

Richard Allen and Ganesh Bathmanathan saw a {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop, which Allen checked. Bathmanathan bet 5,000 -- only for Allen to check-raise all in for 27,000. Bathmanathan tanked for a while... and then called. It was a good call.

Bathmanathan: {Q-?} {10-?} for top pair
Allen: {A-?} {8-?} for really not much at all

Turn: {3-Diamonds}

River: {2-Clubs}

"YESSS!" cried Bathmanthan, under the impression that he had won. "I have a straight," said Allen. "F***," said Bathmanathan.

"Shocking," he continued, as Allen expressionlessly raked in his new 60,000 stack. Bathmanathan's not in any danger, though -- he's still on around 115,000.
