![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
First in from the button, Joe Hachem opened to 10,000, and Tobias Reinkemeier wanted to play for more. In the small blind, he three-bet to 26,000, and Hachem flatted to see the flop.
It came 
, and Reinkemeier continued out with 23,500 more. Hachem tanked long enough to have his shot clock counted down, but he announced, "Sixty-five," with about five seconds left. He put out the 65,000 chips, and now Reinkemeier ran his shot clock down a good ways before he announced an all-in reraise. Hachem made the call, and he had the German crushed.
Showdown
Hachem: 
Reinkemeier: 
Hachem's set had Reinkemeier drawing dead to runner-runner, and the 
turn was no help. Hachem filled up superfluously on the 
river, and he's sent Reinkemeier to the rail in 14th place.

Jungleman Makes a Grumpy Exit
In early position, Daniel Cates raised to 6,000, and Dan Smith reraised to 12,000 from the button. When it came back around to "Jungleman", he shoved all in for just less than 50,000, and Smith snap-called. Cates had pocket queens, but he knew the snap was bad news.
Showdown
Cates: 
Smith:
Cates was visibly upset at the spot he'd found himself in, and he let out a few grumbles and frustrated words to let everyone know about it.
"It's not over yet," Tony G said from across the table, and Cates changed his tune just a bit. He let a smile cross his face, and he leaned back and took a sip from his glass of red wine as he awaited his fate. The board ran out 
, and that's the end of the road for Cates.
When he got just out of earshot, a smirking Phil Ivey joined in the conversation: "Jungleman's got a little temper on him, doesn't he?" The table all chuckled, and they followed with their own stories of mini-Cates-blowups.
Poor Jungleman.
