Cates Doubles Brewer; Each Fighting to Survive
Level 11
Limit Hold 'em
Chris Brewer was down to his last 39,000 chips when he raised in middle position and got three-bet by Dan Cates in the small blind.
Brewer committed his final chips and was at risk.
Chris Brewer: A♦Q♥
Dan Cates: K♦10♦
The board came 2♣5♥7♥A♥Q♣, giving Brewer a winning two pair to survive and further shorten Cates' stack.
Since that hand a round of No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw orbited the table with Cates picking up a couple of pots with preflop raises, while Brewer also scored a few more chips after getting shorter with a virtual all-in that didn't get called.
