Just When You Thought It Couldn't Be Better

Lex Veldhuis just found himself all in on a flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs} against an opponent who held {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Good thing Veldhuis had {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

That's a pretty good spot. According to the PokerNews Poker Odds Calculator, Veldhuis is a 99.8% favorite there when the chips went in the middle.

It could get better, though. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}.

Veldhuis has 120,000 now.
