The first hand of the day both blinds were still missing and thus up for grabs. PokerStars Team Online Pro Lex Veldhuis saw his chance and moved all in from middle position for 14,200. Action folded to former EPT Grand Final champion Antonio Buonanno on the button and the Italian made the call.

Antonio Buonanno: {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Lex Veldhuis: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The flop ({2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}) and turn ({J-Hearts}) were about as blank as they could come, but the {9-Spades} on the river sure wasn't. Veldhuis doubled in the first hand of the day, and now has 38 big blinds to play around with.
