Cates Misclicks

Daniel "Jungleman12" Cates is going to have plenty of time to focus on the Durrrr Challenge after crashing out of today's event. He got all his chips in on the turn of a {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board, calling for his tournament life with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} after Filippo Candio had put him all in.

"Do you have spades?" inquired Candio nervously as he revealed {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for the straight.

He was half right, as he still needed to evade a spade (and the higher straight) on the river, which he indeed did as the final card came the {A-Clubs} to award him the pot. "Yes!" he yelped with a clench fist as the bullet hit the felt.

Cates, meanwhile, leaned across the felt with a bemused look on his face before declaring, "I misread my hand, I thought I had a set." Either way, it was academic, as the Candio's straight held to send the online titan home.

Victory means the Italian now has 63,000.
