Season 2 of PokerStars' The Big Game on Tour continued Sunday with the second installment of Luke Moy's Loose Cannon run. With Alan Keating, Lex Veldhuis, Jason Koon, and Alexander 'Wolfgang' Seibt at the table, Moy hasn't exactly had it easy – far from it, in fact. Keating's nonstop aggression has made it hard for any of the other players to pick up meaningful pots. 

Veldhuis, however, isn't afraid to tangle with Keating – we've seen the two players go at it on numerous occasions – and he proves it once again in the most recent episode of the show. 

Veldhuis takes round three

With the $800 straddle on from Keating, action folded all the way around to Veldhuis in the big blind and he opted to limp in with . Before Veldhuis' calling chips settled on the felt, Keating announced a pot-sized raise to $3,000 with

"Alright," Veldhuis said as he made the call. "Oh my f**king God." 

On the flop, Veldhuis checked to Keating who fired $4,000 into the $6,600 in the middle. Veldhuis, with top pair top kicker, made the call to see the turn. While some players might slow down when they improve to a hand with showdown value, Keating isn't the type to let off the accelerator. After a moment or two of deliberation, Keating sent $15,000 across the betting line – a slight over-bet. 

Veldhuis made the call to bring the pot to $44,600 and the completed the board. In flow, Veldhuis checked a third time and Keating fired out a final shell of $49,000. After confirming the bet sizing with the dealer, Veldhuis flicked a single chip across the betting line for a call. Keating instantly tabled his third pair and Veldhuis rolled over the winner. 

There were no words exchanged this time around – only silence and the sound of Veldhuis stacking up $142,600 worth of chips.
