Steven van Zadelhoff lost almost all of his stack in a set under set scenario against Dinesh Velupillay and was left with crumbs. According to Velupillay, the duo got into a three-bet pot and headed to a 
flop with bet and call incoming. Velupillay check-called a bet of 10,000 on the 
turn and check-shoved the 
river into a bet of 26,000 by van Zadelhoff. The Dutchman called with pocket fives only to get shown 
by Velupillay.
Then, Zachary Tay "raised" 700 and as that was less than 50%, it was ruled as a limp from middle position only. It folded to van Zadelhoff, who checked in the big blind and the duo checked the 
flop and the 
turn. The 
river brought a bet of van Zadelhoff for 1,000 and a call by Tay.
The Dutchman showed

against the 
of Velupillay and doubled thanks to the board 
.
"Can you please double through someone else?" Velupillay grinned.
As if it was destiny, the two clashed again shortly after, and it would be Van Zadelhoff's last hand in the 2018 Main Event. With 5,500, Van Zadelhoff was up with against Velupillay's 
, who told Van Zadelhoff he didn't want to bust him.
Velupillay's mercy wasn't answered by the poker gods, as the dealer fanned out 
to seal Van Zadelhoff's fate.
