For the second time today, Daniel Cates ran pocket kings into pocket aces. This time, he was much more live than last time when he was all in against Steve O'Dwyer's quad aces on the flop, but that didn't stop Cates from expressing his frustration in a ridiculous manner.
After the money went in and Rossiter tabled the

, Cates yelled out, "Are you f***ing kidding me?!?!" before throwing his cards across the table in the direction of Rossiter.
Cates' hand was the

, and someone at the table pointed out to Cates that he could still win the hand with five community cards to come.
The flop, turn, and river ran out

to give Rossiter the win, but then Cates exploded by grabbing a handful of chips and throwing them like a baseball player across the table at Rossiter. Some of the chips bounced on the table in front of Rossiter, one or two hit him in the chest, and a couple more stumbled onto the floor. After doing so, Cates just sat there, visibly steamed with what had occurred. Rossiter took it quite well, whereas many people might've freaked out in their own right after having chips hurled at them.
The tournament staff was quickly called, and the discussion began with what was to happen now that it wasn't fully clear that Rossiter had Cates covered. Eventually, it was ruled that Cates had less chips than Rossiter and he was eliminated.
Angrily, Cates stormed to the rail and it's left to be seen if he'll fire a third bullet into the event.

For someone who has worked their way up from the bottom, has multiple of millions and has played millions of hands he certainly doesn't seem to control himself very well.

I like Cates, always have..but the past couple of years he seems to be becoming more of an arrogant sore loser. Not the first nor last time we will see this I imagine from him.

Maybe he wants to be seen as the next Phil Hellmuth :p

It's pretty clear to me he has some issues. I guess autism. The way he acts, talks. Very weird.

If it's a cash game, he can throw 100 chips at me.

Gawd... even if the name in the story had been Phil Hellmuth and not a young, supposedly "professional" player, I'd have said that was a massive overreaction

Poker can be very perplexing , but a pro needs to keep his cool. Who would want to sit at the table with that clown?????

What an idiot. If chips ever hit me after someone throwing them across the table like he did, I'd grab the ones that hit me & wing them back as hard as I could.

Is there a video for this yet?

looking forward to video of this. Not the kind of self-control a 'pro' should have.

Wow, what a poor sport, I get the frustration, but a public tantrum is a bit much.

Way to show great sportsmanship to help grow our game. I can't stand people like this. Same goes for guys berating people on chat. I want the people at the table to stay. And I want spectators to join our sport. Oh well.
