Veldhuis and Buonanno Tangle Again

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Under the gun Lex Veldhuis made it 2,500 to go and once again ran into Antonio Buonanno. The Italian EPT champ three bet to 5,500 and Veldhuis was the only caller.

Both players checked the flop of {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and the {2-Spades} popped up on the turn. Veldhuis bet out 6,000 and Buonanno made the call. The river {5-Hearts} prompted a bet of 9,400 by Veldhuis and Buonanno shoved all in after thinking about it under 10 seconds. Veldhuis folded, leaving himself with just over 16,000.

Two hands later the Dutch PokerStars Team Online Pro was seated in the small blind and action folded to him. He pushed all in and his neighbor called just about instantly.

Lex Veldhuis: {6-Spades}{7-Spades}
Big blind: {10-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Veldhuis doubled up with his runner runner two pair.
