No Full House for Veldhuis

The flop read {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} 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.

Button Gentleman: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Veldhuis: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Turn: {8-Hearts}

River: {2-Clubs}

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."
