Colman Takes A Sizable Lead

Level 23 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #198: With the blinds now up to 100,000/200,000 with 30,000 ante, Cates had {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on the button and limped in. Colman checked his {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

{4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} on the flop and Colman checked his option. Cates bet 200,000 into 460,000 and Colman folded.

Hand #199: Colman had a real hand with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} on the button and made it 400,000. Cates had a real hand as well with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and called.

Two big hands heads up and {6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} on the flop. The flop missed both and they both checked. The {Q-Spades} on the turn was no blank though, moving Cates into the lead. Cates bet out 400,000 into 860,000 and Colman made the call.

The {3-Clubs} on the river was a complete blank and Cates bet 1,275,000 into 1,660,000. Colman thought about it, leaned back in his chair and contemplated calling. He didn't in the end, pot for Cates.

Hand #200: The 200th hand from the Super High Roller saw Cates open the button with {K-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Colman in the big blind with {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} made the call.

{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} on the flop and Colman checked his second pair. Cates bet 200,000 with top paur, Colman called and the dealer brought out a turn: {8-Spades}. Colman checked again and Cates bet 650,000 into 860,000 this time, Colman called.

2,160,000 in the pot and the {10-Hearts} fell on the river. Both players checked and Cates wasn't happy with the outcome. Colman won with the straight and was back up to over 11 million, Cates had 4,455,000 after the hand.

Hand #201: Colman had {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} on the button and opened to 400,000. Cates had {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and made the call from the big blind.

{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} on the flop and Cates checked. Colman bet out 400,000 and Cates raised to 1,000. Yeah, he said he wanted to raise to a thousand but meant a million. And it was 1,000,000 he raised to eventually.

Colman with the over pair informed how much Cates had behind. When he found out Cates had a little over 3 million still behind, he called after more than a minute of thinking.

The {K-Hearts} fell on the turn and with 2,860,000 in the pot Cates checked. Colman bet out a mere 750,000. Cates made the call and they were of to the river.

{5-Diamonds} on the river and Cates made his pair, a pair that was no good. The 4,360,000 pot wasn't going to get bigger as both players checked after some hefty thinking. Cates lost the pot, Colman now really took the lead in the heads up.
