Heroes Of Metaal
Miltiadis Kyriakides from Greece seems to have been hovering up chips this afternoon, doing it in a style that doesn’t seem to have endeared him to the table. Kyriakides is using his big stack to splash around in a lot of pots forcing short stacks to fold when they haven’t connected to the board. He is also determined to call out his opponent’s hands. He recently beat Fatima Moreira de Melo in a pot declaring on the river, “I have the best hand.” He did indeed and added a few more chirping chips to the pile.
It was Govert Metaal’s turn to take on Kyriakides when he defended his bog blind and they went heads-up to a flop of 
. Metaal checked and Kyriakides threw out a 3,000 bet. There was some deliberation before Metaal called the bet.
The turn card 
was checked by both players before a river 
saw Metaal wait a short while before placing out a very deliberate 7,600 bet. Kyriakides was out of his seat before declaring, “I’m thinking of making a hero call.” He decided to make the call but Metaal showed him his turned flush 
and Kyriakides was quiet as he mucked his cards.
