Lex Veldhuis - Out
Lex Veldhuis - Out
Jonas Danielsson opened with a raise to 1,600 from the cutoff, and Lex Veldhuis three-bet it up to 4,600 from the next seat over. Danielsson was the lone caller, and the two men saw the flop come down {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. Danielsson checked, and Veldhuis continued out with a bet of 6,800. After a good while in the tank, Danielsson asked for a count. "It's 17,400 more," said Veldhuis, and his opponent quickly moved all in. Veldhuis made the call for his tournament life, open-ended with {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} . His would-be knocker-out tabled {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for top-top, looking to eliminate the dangerous pro. He would do just that as the turn and river blanked off with the {K-Hearts} and {8-Spades} respectively.

After running over the featured table on Day 1a, Veldhuis has run out of chips today, and he is headed for the exit.
