Kanit vs. Cates for the Chip Lead

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

A massive pot, one that shifted the chip lead, just went down over at Table 31 between Dan "jungleman12" Cates and Mustapha Kanit.

We're not sure how the action played out, but we do know there was around 30,000 in the pot when action exploded on a {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds} flop. A series of raises resulted in Cates getting his remaining stack of 75,275 all in and at risk against Kanit.

Kanit: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Cates: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

It was an interesting spot for both players. Kanit won two massive pots earlier in the day courtesy of aces, while Cates busted the $100,000 twice yesterday holding kings only to be shown aces on both occasions. Here, at least for the moment, Cates had gotten lucky.

With approximately 180,000 on the line the dealer slowly burned and put out the {J-Spades} turn. It was a safe card for Cates, but there was still one more card to come. The dealer burned a third and final time and put out the {5-Hearts}. Safe again.

"Finally won one of those," Cates said as smile beamed across his face. Kanit, who at one point was the chip leader with nearly 200,000 (nearly 40,000 more than the Day 1a chip leader), silently cut out chips from his stack and sent them across the table. With that, Cates has seized the chip lead.
