Aces For Lex

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught up with the action on the turn when there was already about 45,000 in the pot.

The board read {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Lex Veldhuis checked from the big blind. The player on the button thought for a bit and went all in for 30,900 and Lex snap-called tabling {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for trip aces and having the {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} of the all in player drawing dead. The river was the {9-Spades} which gave both players a full house but the button player hit the rail.

Lex is sitting on 108,000 and is primed for his fourth cash of the 2011 WSOP here on Day 2 of the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed.
