Obst and Cates Bust to End the Day

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Cates
Daniel Cates

Daniel "jungleman12" Cates had a bluff picked off by Daniel Negreanu that left him with just over 200,000 in chips when he finally shoved in for 205,000 from under the gun. Bryn Kenney called him from the big blind with the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Cates held the {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

The flop ran out {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Cates hit the rail, but just as that was happening there was an all-in situation on the other table as well.

James Obst had moved all in from under the gun for 202,000. Humberto Brenes tanked and then called from the big blind with the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Obst held the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Brenes won the pot, sending Obst out the door.

Neither table was aware of what was going on at the other table at the time. The tournament was not playing hand for hand and upon bagging up their chips, all of the players were surprised that only seven were left and not eight. Either way, play is done for the night.
