Event 1: Great Dane

Three players put in 6,000 a piece before the flop, including Dane Coates, and the dealer fanned the {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} across the felt.

Coates and another player checked quickly to the preflop aggressor, who obliged with a c-bet of 8,000. Coates calmly made the call, while the other player in the hand got out of the way.

On the {8-Clubs} turn, Coates and his opponent both tapped the table, and the {9-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Rather than check for a third time, however, Coates tossed three of the grey T5000 tournament chips forward, staring his opponent down as he did so.

"What are the odds you don't have jacks here?" queried Coates' nemesis, prodding for information before he ultimately mucked his hand.

Coates scooped the sizable pot, but before he did the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} was tabled in response, showing his interrogator that his read on the hand was just a bit off base.
