No Full House for Veldhuis
The flop read when we arrived, and there were a variety of bets out on the table with three people in the hand. We deduce that the action went: seat 3 check, Lex Veldhuis bet 1,100, button raise to 3,000, seat 3 reraise to 9,000.
Veldhuis tanked up for a while - and then effectively went all in, pushing all his yellow T5,000 chips into the middle, covering both his opponents. The button called all in. Seat 3 sat there eating a sandwich for a while and then folded.
"You have fours?" asked Veldhuis.

Veldhuis was laughing about it, but it seemed as though that was mostly because he would cry if he didn't. The 90,000 pot went over to Mr. Button - we think he is one Matthias Neu, but the extreme squeeze around the table currently prevents us from getting over there to ask him - and Veldhuis was left with just 5,000. He said something that we believe was, "F*** my life."
