Katz into the Chip Lead

Level 4

No-Limit Hold'em

"Are you going to be dressing up this year Jungle?" Benny Glaser asked Dan Cates. "Some sort of costume?"

"I'm wearing one," replied Jungle, although he was clearly wearing ordinary clothes. "Aren't we all wearing a costume of sorts?"

"Jungle has a long history in this tournament," added Aaron Katz. "Won it twice and also bust to [Mark] Gregorich with ace-king."

Katz was referring to a hand from the 2017 PPC where Cates was the first player to bust after five-bet shoving over 200 big blinds with ace-king into the pocket aces of Mark Gregorich.

Meanwhile, Katz had check-called bets of 20,000 and 45,000 on a board of 109310 from Seth Gottlieb, and the river was the 10. Katz checked and Gottlieb bet 90,000.

Katz tanked well into the break before calling. Gottlieb flung 54 face up and Katz took down the pot with A9 for a full house.
