Veldhuis Runs Kings Into Aces
Level 3
: 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
While Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis dodged the curse of the first hand of the last year, nothing much went his way in the first two and a half levels. He dropped to half the starting stack and then opened, online crusher Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson three-bet and the PokerStars ambassador ripped it in for 123,680 to get snap-called by Mattsson.
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: 
Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson: 
The board came 
and Velhuis was gone on the first bullet.
