Mao Chops With Cates; Shoves After

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Renji Mao defended his big blind against a min-raise by Dan Cates and then checked the 842 flop. Cates bet 30,000 and was check-raised to 85,000. "How much you got?" Cates asked and then started talking mostly to himself, concluding with "I don't believe you" before he reraised.

Mao called all-in and exposed his A8.

"No good," Cates replied and revealed his ... A8. They chopped it up on the 4 turn and 6 river.

Gavin then raised to 20,000 and folded when Mao jammed from the small blind.
