Veldhuis Destroys Excellent Start

Alexander
Alexander
After an excellent start turning a full house with pocket sevens on an {8-?} {4-?} {4-?} {7-?} X and getting his huge overbet called on the river, Lex Veldhuis has lost most of it back again and is now back to roughly his starting stack.

Veldhuis opened for 600 and got two callers, one of them Vlad Mezheritsky and the other one the gentleman in the small blind; the three of them saw a {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Spades} flop. The small blind checked and Veldhuis bet 1,200, Mezheritsky called and the small blind got out of the way.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Veldhuis now bet out 2,850. Again, Mezheritsky flatted, and they moved on to the river.

The river came down the {8-Clubs} and this time Veldhuis checked. Mezheritsky bet 6,000, and Veldhuis now check-raised all in to cover. Mezheritsky called all in for 24,600 and turned over {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} for the flopped straight, then raked in the 60,000 pot. Veldhuis mucked and looked ill, and dropped right back down to 34,000.
