Cates Doubles Through Ivey

Level 7 : 5,000/10,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} Phil Ivey checked to Daniel Cates who bet 25,000. After some thought, Ivey asked Cates how much he had left. Cates had 125,000 in front of him. Ivey then reraised, (we couldn't quite hear the amount). Cates used up almost all of his first time bank, before moving all in.

It was another 97,000 for Ivey to call. "5...4...3...2..," counted down the dealer on Ivey's first 30 seconds. Ivey tossed out the blue extra time button. Ivey thought some more and then, "5...4...3...2..," and Ivey tossed out his last extra time button. When the final 30 seconds was almost up, Ivey tossed in his calling chips.

Ivey: {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Cates: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} giving Cates a boat. The river, {k-Spades} was meaningless for Ivey. Cates is now up to 250,000.
