Cates Pulls Out Big River Raise

Level 3 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Daniel Cates raised from the hijack, and small blind John Monnette called.

Monnette check-called another 1,400 on the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop. Cates then checked back the {2-Hearts} turn. The river {8-Hearts} saw Monnette lead for 3,200, and Cates thought for a moment.

Any thought that Cates had been considering a call proved wrong as he eventually grabbed many more chips. He threw in 19,500, and Monnette expressed some confusion. However, Monnette didn't tank for long, folding within a few dozen seconds.
