Metaal Running Up a Stack

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Govert Metaal limped in from early position and a player in middle position raised it up to 4,000. The action folded back to Metaal who re-raised to 14,000. His opponent called and the dealer fanned a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

Metaal led out for 11,000 and his opponent stuck around to see the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Metaal slid out his stack of 25,000 chips, enough to put his opponent to the test for his remaining 36,000. He thought for a minute and then gave up his cards, allowing Metaal to pull in another pot.

Level 7 : 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

In a three-way pot, the dealer spread the flop of {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades} across the felt. The action checked to Chris Hunichen on the button who bet 4,000. The big blind called and Koray Aldemir check-raised to 15,000 in middle position. Hunichen called and the big blind got out of the way.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Aldemir continued for another 15,000. Hunichen still called and the {5-Clubs} hit the river. Aldemir slid in a bet of 46,100, leaving himself with a single 100 chip. Hunichen quickly announced all in and Aldemir called his last chip.

Hunichen turned over {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped full house but Aldemir spiked the river as he tabled {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a larger full house.
