Mr. Cates Has to Show

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Daniel Cates Couldn't Get His Flush Draw to Hit
Daniel Cates Couldn't Get His Flush Draw to Hit

We caught the action on the turn of a {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades} board. Daniel Cates was facing an all in of 12,025 from his opponent with a pre-turn pot of about 6,000.

Eventually Cates made the call and his opponent tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The table waited for Cates to show his hand for about six of seven seconds before the dealer finally asked him to reveal his holdings.

"I have to show?" asked Cates. He reluctantly placed down the {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} which allowed the dealer to put down the {a-Diamonds} as the river. His opponent's set of sevens held up against the flush draw and he is now down to 34,000.
