Cates Gets it In There

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

First into the pot, Daniel Cates mini-raised to 40,000, and Bryn Kenney called from the big blind. Heads up, the flop came {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {K-Clubs}. Kenney check-raised, though we couldn't see the amounts, and Cates called to see the turn card.

It was the {10-Hearts}, and this time Kenney check-called a bet of 55,000. On the {5-Hearts} river, though, he went ahead and announced an all in for Cates' effective 229,000 chips. Snap-call!

"One pair," Kenney said, knowing it probably wasn't good. It was not; Cates turned up {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}, and his set of threes will double him up. We eyeball him at just over 800,000, but we'll wait until he stacks up to get a better count.
