"Threat Detected": Defending Champion Wounded Early

Pot-Limit Omaha

Two-time defending champion Dan "Jungleman" Cates took an early hit in a Pot-Limit Omaha hand against Scott Seiver on a board of 2♣8♦9♠3♥.

Seiver had already committed 28,000 on the turn and faced a raise from Cates to 115,000 who sat still behind his Terminator sunglasses. Eventually, Seiver announced all in before pushing out his starting stack and casually conversing with Josh Arieh.

"It's 100 big blinds," shrugged Seiver as Cates sat still before eventually sliding his cards into the muck.

"Damage," Cates said in a monotone voice. "Threat detected. New target acquired."

"Are you the threat? You did this to yourself," replied Seiver.

Cates won't get the chance to terminate his newly acquired target as he was moved to a new table shortly after the hand.
