Cortes' Misclick Tilts Veldhuis

Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Aleksandar Tomovic opened to 65,000 in the hijack and Lex Veldhuis counted out a three-bet to 180,000 on the button. At the same time, Gerard Cortes called the original raise in the small blind and then was given the option to surrender 65,000 or call the 180,000. He opted for the latter and Tomovic stepped aside.

The flop came and Cortes tanked for over a minute before sliding out a bet of 85,000. Veldhuis threw his cards away and voiced his displeasure of how the hand played.

"So frustrating. So tilting," the PokerStars pro mumbled as he rolled his eyes.
