All Fun and Games at the Team Pro Table

Lex Veldhuis and Victoria Coren seem to be having a good time at their table as both of them have been gathering a lot of chips over the past hour. When we walked by, Veldhuis was all smiles and was playing with the dealer button while drinking a beer.

In a recent hand, one player moved all in for 16,100 from middle position, and action folded to Veldhuis who moved all-in over the top.

Everyone else folded and the cards were on their backs. Veldhuis was holding the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and had his opponent crushed, who was holding the {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The flop fell {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} giving Veldhuis a pair and a royal flush draw, leaving his opponent drawing dead to a chop or running 8s.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river was the {5-Hearts} awarding Veldhuis the pot and moving him up to 46,000 chips. At the other end of the table, Victoria Coren has chipped up to nearly 70,000.
