Standard Veldhuis

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

It'll come as no surprise to you when I write that I witnessed Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis opening a pot with a raise to 400. He was called in three spots en route to a {9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop.

All four players checked to the {7-Diamonds} turn where the Dutchman had a stab with a 1,100 bet. Alejandro Pineiro called before Marius Olsvik raised to 3,225. The big blind folded but Veldhuis and Pineiro called to see the {4-Hearts} river.

The action was checked to Olsvik who bet 4,025. Velduis insta-mucked but Pineiro called and quickly mucked when Olsvik revealed {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a set.
