Twist of Cates

Daniel Cates is playing a lot of hands but his chip stack doesn't seem to be going anywhere in particular. He'd fired 1,800 in a three-way pot with the first of his two opponents making it 4,000, the second opponent folded and Cates made the call.

Both players checked the {8-Spades} turn before Cates quickly led out for 7,500 on the {K-Hearts} river. His opponent let out a very audible sigh and released his hand. Cates is back up to his starting stack.
