Veldhuis Vanishes on the River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

''sebdrinks'' minraised to 4,000 from the cutoff and Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis made the call from the small blind. Daniel "42ayay" Erlandsson was in the big blind and did not deem the price high enough yet, as he upped the ante to 16,000. This was enough to let ''sebdrinks'' fold, but Veldhuis stuck around for a flop.

A52 is what appeared on the players' screens, and Erlandsson fired a continuation-bet of 12,000 after a check from Veldhuis. Veldhuis made the call, and did the same for Erlandsson's 27,000 bet on the 10 turn.

The river brought the 3 and saw Veldhuis check for a third time. Erlandsson was done with the small bets and went all in for slightly more than the pot, his bet totalling 137,668.

Veldhuis could not come up with a call and let this one go, hoping for a better spot in future endeavors.

Nedelcu Forfeits His Final Blinds

Level 12 : Blinds 1,250/2,500, 325 ante

Narcis "Narcisus90" Nedelcu was sitting in the under the gun position with only 4,813 chips to his name, less than two big blinds. He decided to put them all in, receiving a three-bet to 9,125 from ''yagrebulave'' in the hijack. The other players folded, and a showdown was had.

Narcis "Narcisus90" Nedelcu: 94
''yagrebulave'': KJ

The flop of K710 left Nedelcu with only runner-runner outs to hit, and the 5 turn sealed his fate. A meaningless 2 river was dealt, but Nedelcu was already hovering over the registration button as he reentered for his fourth and final bullet.
