Jungleman Makes a Grumpy Exit

Daniel Cates - out
Daniel Cates - out

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: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Smith: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

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 {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, 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.
