The Huis That Lex Built

Lex's Big Stack
Lex's Big Stack
A brief chat with Lex Veldhuis helped us ascertain that his current 320,000 stack was amassed over two big hands.

First, he found himself raising with {K-?} {10-?}, receiving one caller to see a {Q-?} {J-?} {8-?} flop. The caller bet out 5,000 and Veldhuis called, and they proceeded to the {A-?} turn which conveniently made Veldhuis the nuts. Veldhuis' opponent bet out 12,000, Veldhuis made it another 30,000 to go, the other gentleman went all in with {K-?} {Q-?} and Veldhuis called. That was the first hand.

Then not long after, Veldhuis raised with {A-?} {J-?} and both blinds called. The flop came down {A-?} {10-?} {7-?} with two hearts on it, and all three players checked, moving on to the {2-?} turn. The small blind bet out 15,000 and both big blind and Veldhuis called. They saw a {J-?} river and now it checked around to Veldhuis who bet 38,000. The big blind called, and mucked.

Voila 320,000 in chips.
