Lex kicked off his run by registering for New Year Series 04-H, a $1,050 NLHE 8-Max PKO.

The tournament has a large $125,000 guarantee and 120 players were not enough to meet it, so there was a small overlay.

The biggest name on the final table, besides Lex Veldhuis, was Bulgarian crusher Ognyan “cocojamb0” Dimov, who finished in 7th place.

Heads-up for the title Lex defeated Brazilian player “gustavcodias” to secure a large $24.220,53 score.

Veldhuis bested a sizeable 226-player-field to win his second 2023 PokerStars New Year Series title on the same day this time for $12,863.72.
