Metaal Shining Early
Govert Metaal is doing very well here in the €10,000 High Roller as he's up to roughly 150,000 in chips. Metaal informed a fellow reporter of a big hand he played earlier in the tournament where he was able to double up big through Michael Tureniec with two kings. Here's what happened.
A player raised to 700, and Metaal called with two kings. Another player called behind, then the button made it 2,250 to go. Tureniec reraised to 5,200 from the small blind, and action folded back to Metaal. He reraised to 8,500. Play folded back to Tureniec, and he made it 13,000 to go. Metaal then bumped things to 20,000 before Tureniec went all in. Metaal called, and his kings were up against the 
for Tureniec. The kings held and Metaal won an early big pot.
