Jungleman is Locked In

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Fatos Haxhaj made it 4,000 from under the gun, and the action folded to a half asleep Dan Cates, who was on the button. He just announced raise, not seeing the action had been opened, and was forced to make it 6,000. Haxhaj called.

It checked through to showdown, where Cates' AK bested Haxhaj's AQ on the 103275 board,

It was suggested by the dealer that Cates should focus a little more on the game, with Haxhaj disagreeing after losing the minimum.

"What makes you think this man isn't focused?" Erick Lindgren asked the dealer. "This is the man we have all been losing to for the last 15 years."
