Cates Gets Trappy With a Flush
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gary Thompson opened to 6,000 from the hijack and it was folded to Dan Cates, who said, "I'm gonna have to put you to the test," before three-betting to 21,000 from the small blind. Thompson called.
"I put you on a range," Cates said.
Both players checked on the 2♣A♣Q♦ flop and Cates checked again on the Q♣ turn.
"That queen hits you. I bet you're a ladies man," Cates continued.
Thompson then bet 28,000 and Cates called.
The 6♥ completed the board and both players went back to checking.
"Dammit! I have a flush!" Cates said as he turned over K♣5♣ as advertised. Thompson sent his hand into the muck and Cates was sent the pot.
