A Bad Lexperience

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern opened to 725 from UTG and fellow Team Pro Lex Veldhuis called next to him. The player to his left then 3-bet to 2,600 and it was passed all the way back to Mattern, who folded. Veldhuis made the call though to see a flop of {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Veldhuis check-called a bet of 3,500 before both checked the {3-Spades} turn. A {7-Diamonds} river saw Veldhuis bet 8,300 but he was snap-called, the Dutchman confidently turned over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} but pipped by his opponent's {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

Veldhuis dropped to 21,000
