Kenney and Cates Tangle in Table Talk
After John Juanda had walked over to talk with Dan Cates soon after being eliminated, Bryn Kenney and Dario Sammartino started talking about buying action in poker tournaments and Dan Cates chimed in. What followed was a serious table talk between Kenney and Cates, the arguments flying left and right.
Next up, Sammartino opened from the hijack and Kenney three-bet the cutoff to 11,000. Sammartino moved all in and Kenney folded after some consideration.
The very next hand, Koray Aldemir raised from the cutoff to 3,600 and Cates defended the big blind. Sammartino and Kenney were not in the hand, and started some friendly table talk again, ended up laughing and shaking off the previous encounter. In the meanwhile, the flop fell 
and Cates checked, Aldemir checked behind.
Cates then bet the 
turn for 8,000 and Aldemir called before the 
river went check, check. Cates showed 
and Aldemir raked in the pot with 
, leaving Cates short in chips.
