Veldhuis Building Early

Lex Veldhuis opened to 125 from the button and found one caller in Dan O'Brien from the big blind.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and both players checked. O'Brien checked again when a {8-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Veldhuis led out for 150. O'Brien then check-raised to 550, which caused Veldhuis to pause, but he tossed in a call anyways.

The river came the {A-Hearts} and this time O'Brien fired out 1,800. Veldhuis non-nonchalantly threw in a call and O'Brien revealed {6-Spades}{7-Spades} for a busted straight draw. Veldhuis tabled {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} for trip eights and scooped the pot.

Veldhuis is up to 12,500 in the early going.
