It Doesn't Add Up for Veenboer
It Doesn't Add Up for Veenboer
Three players saw a flop of {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}. Jordy Veenboer checked, as did Tino Lechich, and Dory Zayneh made a bet of 2,000. Veenboer then check-raised all in for 9,650, prompting Lechich to duck out. Zayneh wasn't so easily pacified though, as he put in the call, having his opponent covered by a mile.

Showdown:
Veenboer: {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds}
Zayneh: {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Veenboer was in trouble, as some of his outs were no good against Zayneh's overpair and straight draw. The turn stole even more outs, as the board paired with the {6-Spades}. The river was an unhelpful {3-Spades}, sealing the Dutchman's fate. He is sent to the rail, while Zayneh adds those chips to his ever-growing stack. He sits with just about 140,000 now and is easily the chip leader.
