Metaal Runs Into Lebedev's Higher Full House
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 8?A?J?. Govert Metaal checked and Sergey Lebedev fired out a bet. Metaal then check-raised to 80,000 and Lebedev called.
The turn came the J? and Metaal pushed all in for around 150,000. Lebedev snap called.
Metaal showed 8?8? for a full house, eights full of jacks. Lebedev, however, had A?J? for a higher full house with jacks full of aces.
The river was the 5?. Lebedev won a huge pot that brought him up among the chip leaders, while Metaal was eliminated from the tournament.
