Kinesh Pather Out in 2nd Place ($275,000)

Kinesh Pather moves all in for 64,000, and Daniel Cates calls with [Js10d]. Pather turns over [KhJc], and he’s a dominant favorite to double up here.

The board comes [10h9d7dJh10c], and Cates wins the pot — and the Alpha8 title — with a full house, tens full of jacks.

Kinesh Pather finishes as the runner-up, earning $275,000.

Daniel Cates wins the WPT Alpha8 Johannesburg tournament, earning $500,000, an Alpha8 trophy, and the gold Monster 24K Headphones.

Congratulations to “Jungleman” Dan Cates!
