Metaal Eliminated Early

Govert Metaal has already been eliminated from the €25,000 High Roller. We got the action second hand from tablemate and Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis.

Veldhuis said that there was a raise to 500 preflop from Ivan Kudriavtckvand Metaal called from the small blind. The flop was {8-}{8-}{6-} and Metaal check-raised Kudriavtckv's continuation bet. Kudriavtckv called and then Metaal led for 3,800 on a {2-} turn. Kudriavtckv raised to 8,000 and then Metaal reraised to 16,000. Kudriavtckv shoved and Metaal made the call.

Metaal held {A-}{8-} for trip eights with an ace kicker. Kudriavtckv had flopped a full house with pocket sixes and was ahead. The river blanked off and Metaal was eliminated.
