Another Cates Hand; The Jungleman Is Not Happy

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Daniel Cates has been in the thick of it since he arrived here in the Main Event and despite only being in his seat for 15-20 minutes he appeares to be quite frustrated.

In a hand that just took place, he three-bet from the hijack an opening raise and was called by Ran Azor in the big blind and the original raiser. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, Azor bet 2,500, the original raiser folded but Cates stayed in the hand and made the call.

The river card was the {2-Hearts} and now Azor checked to the man known as Jungleman. Cates sat completely stoic before finally moving and betting 6,500. Azor waited for close to 30 seconds before making the call.

As soon as he called Cates looked up to the ceiling as if he knew he was beaten, and beaten he was as Azor turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Cates mucked, turned away and looked towards the heavens once again.
