Heads Up

Another couple of tables have gone heads-up now.

The dangerous-sounding Lex Veldhuis is up against the less dangerous-sounding Joel Patchell.

Tommy Vedes faces Chris Vaughn.

Orlando Romero is up against Ben "xyven" McLaughlin.

Kevin Picklesimer is up against Tim Hebert. Picklesimer got rid of the third-place finisher by calling his 3,500 river shove on a 4-3-3-Q-2 board holding only A-2; his opponent could only boast king-high and hit the rail.
