Veldhuis Slipping

Lex Velhuis
Lex Velhuis

Down to about 5,500, Lex Veldhuis just doubled up an opponent. The action is unknown, but the board read {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Veldhuis' {8-Spades}{6-Spades} fell to his opponent's {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

A few moments later Veldhuis tried to move all-in from the small blind, double fisting his remaining chips and sliding them in the middle. The dealer did not acknowledge the move as "all-in" however, because he thought Veldhuis acted in two motions. The dealer said that Veldhuis' right hand (containing only 20 or so green T25 chips) was the first to cross the imaginary line.

The entire table came to Velduis' defense though, even the big blind who eventually folded.

Velduis can't even catch a break from the dealer this level.
