Double for Cates, Loeser Still Leads
Daniel Cates moved all-in for 313,000 from the button, Dominik Nitsche re-shoved to isolate from the small blind and big blind Peter Chan took the hint and got out of the way.

Dominik Nitsche: 
“I think I’d rather have your hand,” Cates chuckled ruefully when the cards were turned over. However, he soon changed his tune when the flop fell 
and he picked up an open-ended straight draw, which came straight in when the 
hit the turn. The 
was merely a formality and Cates doubled to 635,000 while Nitsche dropped to 910,000.
Manig Loeser still retains the chip lead and Wang Qiang has dropped off a little with the Chinese player and Mikita Badziakouski looking fairly evenly stacked with Gabe Patgorski, Steffen Sontheimer and Chan Wai Leong rounding out the top six stacks.
