Pellegrini Eliminated

Edward Pellegrini, short-stacked to around 10,000, called all in from the big blind when small blind Alexander Veldhuis put him in blind. Pellegrini thought it was his lucky day picking up {Q-Hearts} {A-Clubs}, but somehow Veldhuis found {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} which held up on the {5-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} board to eliminate Pellegrini.
