Veldhuis Doubles and Then Some
The flop came down and things looked very grim for Lex. The turn card left Lex just two outs to keep his tournament alive. Alas, the fell on the river and Veldhuis avoided elimination.
Two hands later he opened to 13,000 on the button and Alex Kravchenko called from the big blind. The flop was checked by both, as was the turn card. When the hit the river, Kravchenko bet 8,000. Veldhuis bumped it to 40,000 and Kravchenko called.
Lex tabled and Kravchenko could only shake his head, accepting defeat. He flashed and tossed his hand to the muck.
Lex is up to 255,000 while Kravchenko under 60,000.
