Veldhuis Stays Above 500k

Lyle Bateman

Level 12 : Blinds 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis is staying alive late in Day 1 with a pot of more than 120k. Both small blind Veldhuis and big blind "mau5trapp1" called a button raise. They all checked the 6♥9♣4♣ flop but Veldhuis fired 34,355 into a pot of 52,325 on the 8♠ turn. Only "mau5trapp1" called to see J♦ on the river but they folded when Veldhuis bet 94,500.

Watson Down, "O Vulgo" Up, Rolle Out

Lyle Bateman

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson's stack isn't quite what it was a few minutes ago, but he's still playing a healthy stack. He just gave 100k or so to "O Vulgo" at the end of the last level on a tripped board after they bet river for nearly twice the pot.

Meanwhile, Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle busted out on another table.
