Cates Earns Full Double Through Chang
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In a three-bet pot with 32,000 each to the A♥9♠6♣ flop, Nevan Chang check-called for 25,000 against Dan Cates and did so again on the 7♥ turn when Cates glanced up from his phone for a second to bet another 50,000.
Heads-up to the A♣ river, Chang checked and Cates jammed for his last 94,000. Three time banks later, Chang called for most of his stack and was shown the bad news, as Cates revealed the A♠K♥ to beat his A♦5♦ with the superior kicker.
