Cates DONG'd

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Daniel Cates opened with one of his usual 8,000-chip min-raises from the button only to have Jonathan Karamalikis three-bet to 22,000 from the big blind.

Cates responded by moving all in and Karamalikis quickly called.

Chris Ferguson pointed out that it was pot limit, but both players shrugged as they the desired outcome was still there.

Cates: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Karamalikis: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The {8-Spades} in the window furthered Cates lead before it was followed by the {Q-Hearts} and {j-Clubs}.

The {7-Spades} on the turn changed little, and after the {3-Diamonds} landed on the river, Cates was forced to make his way to the rail as the Full Tilt Poker Red Pro that plays under the moniker of xMONSTERxDONGx moves to roughly 225,000 in chips.
