Folding Not In His Lexicon

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Lex Veldhuis raised to 500 preflop and got calls in three spots to see a {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop where he continued with a 1,500 bet. The first player called, the second folded but the final one made it 6,000 to go with around 18,000 behind. Veldhuis moved all-in for 22,800 total, the caller folded and the raiser snap-called turning over {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

"I'm embarrassed," said Veldhuis as he gingerly turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} but the miracle suddenly was on when the {q-Diamonds} turn gave him a huge number of outs. The river was the {2-Clubs} - the ultimate in blanks and the Dutchman has been eliminated.
