Veldhuis' Lexcellent Adventure

Lex Veldhuis and Arnaud Mattern
Lex Veldhuis and Arnaud Mattern

On a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Emilio Lopez bet 2,500 from the big blind, Fayad Ghassan made the call before Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis raised to 7,200. Achille Voltolina cold called the Dutchman's raise from the button, Lopez folded and but Ghassan also called.

The {A-Diamonds} came on the turn and Ghassan checked, Veldhuis bet a substantial 15,000, Voltolina announced he was all in, Ghassan folded and Veldhuis made the call.

Voltolina: {K-Spades}{7-Spades}
Veldhuis: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Veldhuis doubled up to about 80,000.

That wasn't the end of things though as in the very next hand, Veldhuis opened from the UTG and four-bet preflop. His opponent refused to fold though and was all in on a {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} with {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} but Veldhuis showed {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and held on the {2-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river.

Veldhuis has over 100,000 now.
