All Lex Does is Check-Call, Check-Call, Check

It was folded around to Sammy Farha in the cutoff who also folded but when he did so, his cards collided mid-air with the dealer’s arm to expose {9-}{2-}. It was then folded to Lex Veldhuis in the small blind who raised to 625 only to be met with a three-bet to 1,800 from the big blind. Veldhuis made the call and check-called his opponent’s bet of 1,800 on the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop.

On the {5-Spades} turn, Veldhuis again check-called the big blind’s bet, this time for 4,500 while both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the river. Veldhuis turned over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for eights up which was good for the win when the big blind mucked, unless Farha would have stuck around with his monster of course.
