Dan Cates, still wearing the lion makeup and fur paws from his extravagant entrance with Phil Hellmuth, went to the river in a pot against Brendon Kaufman and around 20,000 in the middle.
Kaufman checked the J?4?J?8?5? board before Cates, on the button, bet 14,000. Kaufman quickly called and Cates showed K?J? for trip jacks.
Kaufman mucked and dropped down to a short stack as Cates took down the pot.
