On the 
flop, the big blind led out for 800, then Metivier moved all in for 6,700. Action folded back around to the big blind who, after a count from the dealer, made the call with Metivier covered.

Elsewhere at the table, defending champion Robert McMillan has continued his hot start, with one of the biggest stacks in the room sitting in front of him.
