BIO

Govert Metaal is a Dutch poker pro who has played some of the biggest tournaments in the world against the best players. He has booked over $600,000 in career tournament earnings and continues to build on his recent success. With a handful of high profile final tables, Metaal looks to become a top tournament player.

Metaal began his career with near immediate success. His first tournament cash was a final table 3rd place finish in the Summer Classics at Utrecht Casino for €21,539 ($29,046) followed by a 6th place finish at the same casino for the Dom Classics 2008 series and €14,375 ($21,264). Metaal finished out his 2008 year with an 18th place result at the Bellagio Cup in Las Vegas and a 2nd place finish in the Breda Series of Poker Main Event in the Netherlands for €21,923 ($27,379).

Metaal would spend 2009 travelling throughout Europe for various poker tours but his best tournament result would be 23rd in the €1,500 Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam for €2,925 ($4,345). While 2009 would not be a highlight of his poker career, 2010 and 2011 would make up for it.

Metaal produced a $12,228 payday at the 2010 EPT San Remo Main Event and followed up with a 2nd place finish in the $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Festa Al Lago event at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, losing the heads up battle to professional player Jonathan Little but adding $85,606 to his bankroll. Metaal closed out 2010 by turning a €300 satellite to the Master Classics of Poker Main Event into a 13th place finish for €20,916 ($29,658).

2011 began well for Metaal when each finish resulted in a final table appearance. He would post his biggest tournament cash as of June 2011 in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller Event by outlasting such top players as Jason Mercier, David “Bakes” Baker, and Matt Affleck on his way to a 5th place finish and $240,470.

His year would continue with a visit back to Utrecht Casino were he won the Dom Classics Bounty Event title for €13,440 ($18,288). March 2011 produced his 3rd final table of the year with his 6th place finish in the Big Event at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles for another $75,000. Metaal again returned to Europe and finished 3rd at the WPT Vienna Main Event and €57,040 ($81,099).
