Metaal Wins Huge Pot to Bust Ribouchon
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Govert Metaal and Florian Ribouchon played in a pot that amounted to 29,000 by the time the river had arrived. With the board reading Q♥2♣2♦K♠A♥, Metaal sat in the small blind and decided to put Ribouchon all in for his final 31,100 chips.
Ribouchon thought it over on the button for a good while, but eventually flicked in a chip or two to signify a call. Metaal showed A♦K♦ for top two pair, which bested the AxQx that Ribouchon quickly flashed before tossing them into the muck.
Ribouchon took his leave while Metaal chipped up to be among the leaders going in to the dinner break.
