Veldhuis Gone as Shaban Scores Double Knockout

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Lex Veldhuis three-bet jammed and Lauro Cesar Artmann re-shoved behind him with a slightly smaller stack.

Lauro Artmann: {a-}{k-}
Lex Veldhuis: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Despite being dominated, Veldhuis flopped the world as it landed {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} to give him a flush draw and gutshot. But sadly for the PokerStars Ambassador, the board proceeded to brick out {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

The next hand, an early position player opened to 2,600 and Veldhuis moved all in with less from the cutoff. Fellow PokerStars Pro Arlie Shaban then three-bet to 8,000 on the button and Ante Jukic four-bet jammed a stack of 49,600 from the big blind. The initial raiser folded and Shaban called.

Lex Veldhuis: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Ante Jukic: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Arlie Shaban: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades} to improve Shaban to a set for a double knockout as Jukic and Veldhuis hit the rail.
