Velasevic Picks Off Van Luijk in Massive Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of K?9?5?, Danilo Velasevic bet 38,000 from the cutoff, Derk van Luijk raised to 175,000 under the gun, and Velasevic called.
The turn was the 3? and van Luijk moved all in. Velasevic pondered the decision for around 30 seconds before calling for 179,000.
He showed A?A?, while van Luijk had A?K?. The river was the 5? and Velasevic's aces held up to earn him a massive double up.
After the hand, tablemate Boris Angelov picked up Velasevic's aces and pretended to put them under his sleeve.
"Easy life," Velasevic joked with Angelov.
