Veldhuis Gets An Early Bounty

Team Pokerstars Pro Lex Veldhuis raised in middle position, and action folded around to Alan Brown in the big blind. Brown started the day with just 12,500, and all of that went into the middle. Veldhuis made the call, and the cards were flipped up.

Veldhuis: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Brown: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop was a great one for Veldhuis, coming {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Brown needed a ten or running trips to secure the pot, and the turn provided no help coming the {7-Clubs}. The river brought the {8-Spades}, and Velduis took the pot to give his stack an early boost.
