Veldhuis Quintuples Back
From under the gun, Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis tossed his last 32,000 chips into the middle. Dimitar Danchev was in the cutoff seat and raised to 90,000. On the button, Patrick Gastaldi reraised to 250,000. Play folded back to Danchev and he announced that he was all in, a total bet worth 1.020 million. Gastaldi thought for a minute and then folded the 
face up.
Danchev: 
Veldhuis: 
The board ran out 
and Veldhuis won the pot with two pair, aces and twos. He was able to turn his 32,000 into 169,000 and more than quintuple his stack. He's still not out of the woods by any means, but at least he's got life.
