Mike McDonald raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and when the action folded around to Govert Metaal in the big blind he three-bet to 28,000. McDonald decided to make the call and within no time both players were at the flop.
Flop: 
Metaal bet 36,000, McDonald bet 77,500, Metaal moved all-in for 134,500 and McDonald called. When the hands were overturned Metaal was ahead but could still be eliminated from the competition.
