Metaal's Ace is Best
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer opened to 30,000 from the cutoff and was called by Govert Metaal on the button.
Metaal called a 26,000 bet from O'Dwyer on the Q♠6♥Q♥ flop and then a 75,000 bet from O'Dwyer on the A♣ turn.
Both players checked down on the 4♦ river and O'Dwyer tabled A♦4♠ for aces-up. Metaal turned over A♠J♠ for the same two pair with a jack kicker and was sent the pot.
