Metaal Can Only Smile
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
Govert Metaal lost a sizable pot to Ghassan El Hoss after the latter called for and hit a fairly hidden straight.
Ondrej Vinklarek opened to 500 and was called by El Hoss before Metaal three-bet to 1,800 off the button. Both players called to the 
flop where Metaal continued for 2,700.
Only El Hoss check-called before both players checked the 
turn. On the 
river El Hoss led for 6,000 and Metaal made a quick call.
El Hoss opened 
for that straight and Metaal opened 
.
