Oops.

Online high-stakes poker pro Dan “jungleman” Cates apparently was trying to make it to San José del Cabo in Mexico, but ended up in San Jose, California by mistake.

Cates was attempting to go into Mexico to play some online poker, but messed up big time with his travel plans. Fellow high-stakes pro Justin Smith posted a photo of a text conversation with Cates to Instagram as proof of the hilarious misclick.

Cates is one of the biggest winners in online poker history, so blowing the price of a ticket in such a way probably isn’t too big of a deal. It makes for a fun story.

The Maryland native eventually arrived in Mexico and has been seen at the tables, according to HighstakesDB. Cates spent time in Las Vegas this summer for the WSOP.
