Veldhuis Rivers a Straight to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The action folded to Aleksandar Tomovic on the button who shipped all in with two smaller stacks in the blinds. Lex Veldhuis pondered for a minute from the big blind and eventually called off his last 490,000 chips.
Lex Veldhuis: 
Aleksandar Tomovic: 
The flop came 
to give both players a pair but Tomovic had the better of the two. However, the 
, 
runout gave Veldhuis a straight and he doubled up, leaving Tomovic on fumes.
