Veldhuis Still Falling
Lex Veldhuis was heads up on a 
flop. His opponent check-raised, and RaSZi called. The other player led out on the 
turn, and Veldhuis flatted. He called one more bet after the 
on the river, then let out some unintelligible grumping as he saw his opponent had flopped the nut flush with

had been out-turned by his opponent's

on the river was no help to Negreanu, and he ran out of the room to attend to his stack in the $10k 2-7 No Limit Championship across the hall.
