Good Start for Govert

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

Govert Metaal opened to 500 on the button, Paul Volpe three-bet to 1,350 from the small blind, and the Dutchman made the call.

The dealer fanned {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Volpe continued for 1,025, and Metaal raised to 2,500. Volpe tank-called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}, Volpe checked, and Metaal fired 5,100. Volpe made the call.

A repeat nine - the {9-Diamonds} - completed the board, and Volpe checked a second time. Metaal tossed out 13,000, sending Volpe into the tank. He stared at the Dutchman intently, then turned his attention to the board. Roughly a minute passed before Volpe returned his gaze to Metaal, but he then flicked his cards into the muck.

Metaal chipped up to around 60,000 chips, while Volpe dropped down to roughly 41,000.
