Velasevic Picks Off Van Luijk in Massive Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of K♣9♥5♠, Danilo Velasevic bet 38,000 from the cutoff, Derk van Luijk raised to 175,000 under the gun, and Velasevic called.
The turn was the 3♥ and van Luijk moved all in. Velasevic pondered the decision for around 30 seconds before calling for 179,000.
He showed A♥A♣, while van Luijk had A♦K♠. The river was the 5♥ and Velasevic's aces held up to earn him a massive double up.
After the hand, tablemate Boris Angelov picked up Velasevic's aces and pretended to put them under his sleeve.
"Easy life," Velasevic joked with Angelov.
