Veldhuis Down to the Felt

A pitifully short-stacked Travis Roseberry doubles through Alex Veldhuis, his {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} all-in preflop against Veldhuis' pocket tens making a straight on the {4-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} board and increasing his stack to 26,000.

Now Veldhuis finds himself short and pushes with {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} from the button. Kyle Bowker finds kings, the board provides Veldhuis with absolutely no assistance, and Bowker and Roseberry are heads up, Bowker holding an absolutely crushing chip lead of 254,000 to Roseberry's 46,000.
