Cates Pays; Barer Joins Table
Nível 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Danes Cates' life got doubly difficult at the same time; he lost a pot to drop to 44,000 and at the same time, chip leader and defending champion, Ami Barer joined the table. Wasn't it hard enough already with Terrance Chan, Andrew Chen and Yevgeniy Timoshenko for company?
Cates raised from the button and the big blind peeled to see a 
flop appear. Cates continued for 6,500 and was check-called before both players checked the 
turn. The board completed with the 
and Cates called a 7,000 bet. His opponent opened 
for a straight and Cates just looked at the board for a while before reality set it and he mucked.
