Metaal Gets Caught, Doubles Up Machado
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alex Keating raised to 1,600 as first to act and Roberto Romanello flat-called from the cutoff. Govert Metaal then made it 7,000 to go on the button, after which Hugo Machado jammed all in for 20,700.
Keating and Romanello quickly got out of the way, but Metaal tanked for a bit before putting in the call.
Hugo Machado: A♦K♠
Govert Metaal: Q♥9♦
Metaal was three-betting light but had two live cards to hit. However, the A♣6♥6♠ flop spelled disaster for him, and the 8♥ turn locked up the pot for Machado. The 10♠ river appeared as a formality and the pot was shipped to Machado.
