Veenhuyzen Eliminated

Andrew Scott raised from the button to 150 and Marcus Veenhuyzen reraised from the big blind to 650. "Oh sh*t, here we go," said Veenhuyzen after Scott tossed in the extra 500 chips for the call.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} and both Veenhuyzen and Scott checked.

The turn brought the {3-Spades}, putting a possible backdoor flush draw on board. Veenhuyzen bet out 600 and was quickly raised by Scott to 1,200. Marcus made the call.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Veenhuyzen checked. Scott immediately picked up his entire stack and tossed it into the middle of the table, announcing "I'm all in."

"Ahh, there's only a few hands that beat me right now," claimed Veenhuyzen. He checked his watch, and then the tournament clock, before yelling something to his mates on the rail about going to lunch. Veenhuyzen eventually called.

Veenhuyzen: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Scott: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Left holding a flopped set versus a flopped nut straight, Veenhuyzen was sent to an early lunch as Scott collected the pot to double his stack.
