‘Worst Beat Ever’ for Cates, Patgorski Derails Shangai Wang Express, Loeser Leads

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to the newly chipped up Chan Wai Leong in the small blind and he put big blind Daniel Cates all-in. Cates mulled it over and made the call and the cards were turned over.

Leong showed first, turning over {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Cates flipped over his {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} with a flourish saying “I got that beat.”

While Cates had the dominating hand the board ran out {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} for a chop.

“Man, that’s the worst beat I’ve ever seen,” grumbled Cates as the pot was divvied up.

There was a slightly bigger pot playing out simultaneously over on the other table between Gabe Patgorski and Wang Qiang that saw the latter relinquish the lead for the first time today.

We picked up the action on the river with over 200,000 in blinds and antes in the pot with the community cards spread {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades} just as Patgorski fired out a bet of 120,000.

Qiang thought it over for a bit before making the call but could only slide his cards into the muck when Patgorski turned over the nut straight to take a big bite out of Qiang’s stack. The Shanghai Wang express was derailed to the tune of 1.7 million while Patgorski stacked up to 800,000. This means Manig Loeser edges into the chip lead with a stack of 1.9 million.
