Veldhuis Building a Massive Stack

Lex Veldhuis opened the action with a raise to 700. The opponent to his immediate left counted out a three-bet and made it 1,650 to go. The rest of the table tossed their hands into the center and it was back on Veldhuis.

He flicked up the corner of both of his cards to get another look before reaching into his stack and four-betting to 3,200. His opponent replied by five-betting all in and Veldhuis quickly called.

Veldhuis: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
