Kobe Busts Cates and Dwan
Level 8
: Blinds 0/0, 5,000 ante
The action escalated on multiple tables at once with a few minutes to go prior to the dinner break.
Dan Cates picked up a straight draw with 9♦8♠ on the Q♣7♣6♦ flop but Kobe's A♠A♥ stayed ahead on the J♣ turn and Q♥ river. The table was told to stop with just three players and Tom Dwan was moved over only to get knocked out by Kobe as well.
Dwan's A♦10♦ were up against J♠J♣ and they couldn't get there despite a mighty sweat on the K♦10♣9♦7♠9♠ board.
