Lex Veldhuis Thinks It's A One-Day Tournament

Ok he doesn't, but he's playing as though he needs to win it all today. Veldhuis has a whooping 90,000 already.

He eliminated one of the players on his table after it all went in on the turn of a {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {7-Spades} board. Veldhuis held the rather nutty {K-Spades} {10-Spades} against his foe's {9-Spades} {6-Spades}.

The Dutchman easily managed to avoid the {8-Spades} on the river when the {A-Clubs} came instead and now has a stack big enough that he can go and chill on the beach for the rest of the day. But he probably won't.
