Cates Doubles Lynskey

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Alexander Lynskey opened to 8,000 from first position on his 5-handed table. Daniel Cates three-bet to (what appeared to be) 29,000 from the small blind and Elliot Smith folded from the big blind. Lynskey pushed all in for 69,000 and Cates, after giving it some thoughts, made the call.

Alexander Lynskey: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Daniel Cates: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} gave Cates some additional outs. The {Q-Clubs} made Lynskey top set and left Cates drawing dead. The {A-Clubs} on the river gave Cates two pair but it wasn't good enough this time.
