Metaal a Nonbeliever

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

Leonid Bilokur raised to open the pot with {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} in early position, and Govert Metaal defended his big blind holding {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

Heads up, the flop came {5-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs}, and Bilokur continued out with 53,000. Metaal flatted with his flush draw, and the {5-Diamonds} turned. It went check-check, and the {6-Spades} completed the board to give Bilokur the full house. He bet another 126,000, and Metaal took pause. He was a nonbeliever, and he eventually made the call with king-high.

Bilokur showed the good, and the pot went his way.

Nicolas Fierro made it 42,000 to play from the cutoff with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Michael Telker re-raised all in for 299,000 from the small blind with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Fierro called and flopped a set when it came down {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Telker still had outs to broadway, but the {6-Spades} turn took some away. The {6-Diamonds} river sealed the deal, ending Telker's tournament in seventh place.

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Jason Koon raised to 52,000 under the gun, and he was working with {8-Spades} {5-Spades}. In the cutoff seat, Isaac Haxton flatted with {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, and they went heads-up to the flop.

It came {2-Clubs} {K-Spades} {10-Hearts}, and Koon continued out with another 64,000. Haxton had the nut middle pair, but he spent a few long minutes in the tank, staring across the table from behind his sunglasses. Eventually, he decided to let it go with a pensive look, and Koon wins that little pot without much confrontation.

Chop It Up

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Nicolas Fierro opened to 51,000 under the gun with {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Jonathan Duhamel called from the big blind with {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Duhamel checked it to Fierro who bet 64,000. Duhamel called to see the {7-Clubs} turn and checked it to Fierro again. After a few moments Fierro fired 132,000. Another call from Duhamel led to the {3-Clubs} river which both players checked.

They each got a chuckle and chopped the pot.
