Metaal With an Early Elimination

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

Govert Metaal hasn't taken long to increase his stack since late registering. Just now came a hand in which Metaal was in early position and limped in. Both blinds called.

The flop was {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the blinds checked. Metaal bet 300 and the small blind check-raised all in for 1,875. Metaal snap-called.

Metaal tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for top pair with top kicker. The player in the small blind showed {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for second pair.

Unfortunately for the small blind, the turn and river bricked off without helping him improve and Metaal held on to rake in the pot.
