Soika Hunts the Jungleman
Ihar Soika raised from the hijack only to have Daniel "Jungleman" Cates three-bet to 8,000 from the small blind. After the big folded, Soika pushed back with a four-bet to 17,800 and Cates, who has taken his fair share of time to act throughout the day, tanked for about two minutes before calling.
When the flop fell 
, Cates checked and Soika thought for nearly two minute before betting 15,400. Cates snap-called and then checked the 
turn. Soika once again hit the tank for over two minutes, and finally someone at the table called for a clock. When the floor made her way over, Soika put in a bet of 33,000 and Cates called fairly quickly.
Cates then checked for a third time on the 
river, and Soika didn't take too long before moving all in. Cates snap-folded and once again began mumbling to himself.
