Action folded to Sean Giesbrecht on the button and he raised to 2,400. Daniel Cates then three-bet all in for what looked to be 23,000 from the big blind, and Giesbrecht snap-called.

Cates: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Giesbrecht: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Cates bemoaned his luck, but he perked up when the {9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop gave him a bunch of outs. The {9-Diamonds} turn was not what he was looking for, as it took away some of his two pair possibilities, and then the {K-Hearts} river finished off the board. Cates jokingly acted like it was a good card for him, but in fact the two pair he had made was inferior to Giesbrecht's aces and nines.

The table got a good laugh from the situation, and Cates exited the tournament floor. It appears he will be reentering soon.
