Cates Chips up
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Daniel Cates opened to 30,000 first to act with 10♣10♠ and Lei Yu three-bet to 90,000 holding A♥K♠ in the cutoff. Action folded back to Cates, who called.
Cates checked-called a 40,000 bet from Yu on the 3♠9♠Q♦ flop and both players checked on the 8♣ turn.
The 9♣ completed the board and Cates took the initative with an 80,000 bet. Yu burned up a few time extensions, but eventually decided to lay his ace-king down and Cates padded his stack.
