Veldhuis' Full Huis

[user66118]

While his girlfriend was being eliminated on the other side of the room, Lex Veldhuis was doing some work at Table 9. Under the gun, he opened to 2,400, as he is prone to doing from time to time. The table passed all the way around to the big blind where Anders Jensen flicked in the calling chips to see a flop.

It came out {K-Hearts}

, and Jensen knocked the table. Veldhuis continued out with a bet of 3,500 before his opponent asked how much he was playing. Lex knew that he had 59,100 behind, and that's what he replied, but his opponent made him break the stacks down anyways. Finally satisfied by the count, he stuck in a reraise to 10,200 total. Veldhuis wasn't going anywhere though, coming back over the top with a third bet of 23,500 total. Jensen then moved all in, and Veldhuis quickly called to put himself at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Veldhuis: {9-Clubs}

Jensen:

Veldhuis leaned over the table to sweat the two cards that would make or break his tournament fate. The turn {2-Spades}

was safe, and so was the {K-Clubs}

on the river, and that signals a big double up for Veldhuis and trouble for the rest of his table.

He's all the way up to 131,300, and in contention for the Day 1b chip lead now.
