Lex Veldhuis - Seat 7
Originally from the Netherlands, Lex “RaSZi” Veldhuis is another of those former Starcraft players (like Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier) who eventually made the transition to poker, starting at the penny tables at the end of 2003 before moving his way up in stakes. Today Veldhuis is a fixture at the higher-stakes online games where he has achieved numerous big tourney scores while also succeeding at the cash tables.

He has over $100,000 in live tournament earnings, including four cashes during the last two WSOPs in various hold’em events. We anticipate an appearance in the stands today by RaSZi fan Evelyn Ng, whom Veldhuis is currently dating.
