Lex Does the Betting This Time

Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Earlier we told you guys about a hand that Lex Veldhuis won where he check called the whole way. On this hand, it was Veldhuis's opponent who check called the whole way, but the result was the same: Veldhuis winning chips. Veldhuis was in the cutoff heads up against his opponent in the small blind on a flop of {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The small blind check called a bet of 800 from Veldhuis. The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}, and this time, he check called a 2,000 bet from Veldhuis. On the river, the {7-Spades}, the small blind checked a third time, and when Veldhuis bet 5,200, he once again called. Veldhuis showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a pair of aces, and it was good enough to take down the pot.
