Veldhuis Can Not Beat a Straight
Level 31
: Blinds 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 143,500. Joel "jvieiradias8" Dias was in the big blind and opted to defend.
The flop was fanned out royally as K?J?10? was shown on everyone's screens. Dias checked to Veldhuis, who bet 140,000 and received a call from his opponent. The turn 3? was consequently checked by both players.
On the 2? river, Dias took the betting lead and chose a size of 497,438. Veldhuis thought about it for a bit, but eventually made the call, only to get shown the Q?9? of Dias. Nothing higher than a straight for Veldhuis, who mucked his cards and moved on to the next hand.
