Cates Tames Kaufman on the River
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dan Cates, still wearing the lion makeup and fur paws from his extravagant entrance with Phil Hellmuth, went to the river in a pot against Brendon Kaufman and around 20,000 in the middle.
Kaufman checked the J♦4♥J♥8♠5♠ board before Cates, on the button, bet 14,000. Kaufman quickly called and Cates showed K♠J♠ for trip jacks.
Kaufman mucked and dropped down to a short stack as Cates took down the pot.
