Cates Triples up
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Daniel Cates shoved for his last 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Stephen Song in the small blind and Yisha Chen in the big blind holding 10♥9♦.
Song led out for 35,000 on the 8♣8♥5♣ flop and Yu let her hand go, which meant a showdown between Song and Cates.
Daniel Cates: K♦8♦
Stephen Song: K♣5♦
Cates found himself in commanding shape with his trip eights and the 9♥7♠ runout kept him best for the much-needed triple up.
