Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

On a {A-Clubs} {4-Spades} {9-Diamonds} flop, we watched a heads-up pot that would end up being the last of Lex Veldhuis' day. The big blind checked to the Dutchman, and he fired 2,500 into a pot of about 5,400. The big blind called, and they'd both check-check through the {Q-Spades} turn. On the river, the {2-Diamonds} drew one last check from the big blind, and Veldhuis took his cue to bet 6,000. He didn't like seeing a check-raise all in behind him, but he called off his last 22,000 total to put himself at risk.

We'd never get to see his cards. The big blind tabled {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for top two, and Veldhuis mucked and ducked out of the room.
