Steven van Zadelhoff pulled us over to describe the hand he doubled in, in all of its glorious detail. "I had the second best starting hand in poker, and he had one better. Well, until the flop that was," he laughed. Van Zadelhoff is now sitting at a solid 120,000.
Lady Fortune gives and takes, so to speak, which meant Govert Metaal had to take one for the team to balance the scales. After a raise to 2,800 and a three-bet to 8,000, Metaal picked up the best starting hand in poker himself and shoved for 28,000. The reraiser called with and spiked a king on both the flop and the turn to eliminate Metaal. Metaal doesn't bend easy, though, and he quickly fired another bullet.

It brought the action to the third player in the hand, Sirfan Hissou, who appeared to have a huge hand for the situation. He shook his hand, removed his sunglasses, stared intensely at Veghinas, then tried to chat him up to get a read.
"I beat aces," he says to Veghinas.
The dealer quickly informed no talking of any kind was allowed, as it was a multi-way pot. Veghinas, not the one to back down from a verbal war, and Hissou remained silent for the remainder of the hand. The German counted out the calling chips, thought for a while longer, then folded face-up with a pained expression on his face.
"Whoa, I want that one!", Carrel laughed, as he tried to reach for the mucked hand.
