Metaal Calls With Queens
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Govert Metaal, with the fedora and reflective shades as always, told us about a hand where he gathered quite a few chips. After a raise under the gun and a call from a loose player in the cutoff, Govert Metaal flatted with 
from the small blind. All three of them checked on 
and the 
fell on the turn. Metaal and the initial raiser checked, and the cutoff bet 3,500. Metaal was the only one calling. A 
fell on the river and Metaal checked. His opponent fired a hefty 15,000 into the middle and Metaal called. The cutoff had nothing but 
off suit and Metaal grew his stack to over 80,000.
