The jacks hold for Metaal

Mike McDonald raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and when the action folded around to Govert Metaal in the big blind he three-bet to 28,000. McDonald decided to make the call and within no time both players were at the flop.

Flop: {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}

Metaal bet 36,000, McDonald bet 77,500, Metaal moved all-in for 134,500 and McDonald called. When the hands were overturned Metaal was ahead but could still be eliminated from the competition.

Metaal{J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
McDonald{J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

The turn was the {Q-Clubs}, river {10-Clubs} and Metaal doubled up.
