Veldhuis Nearly Triples Up in Big Pot

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Lex Veldhuis min raised under the gun to 400 and was called by the cutoff and the big blind. The flop came out {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The big blind bet out 625, and Veldhuis called. The cutoff then announced all in, and before he could slide his chips into the pot, the big blind and Veldhuis had already gotten their money in. The players flipped their cards, and Veldhuis was a good favorite.

Cutoff: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Big Blind: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Veldhuis: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The turn came a {6-} and the river was the {a-Clubs}. Veldhuis faded his opponents outs and dragged the pot to up his stack to 12,500.
