A poker bet settled in a ring
In November 2011 two Team PokerStars Pros, Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, ended a two-year-old challenge with a kickboxing match in Marbella. This site collects what was reported about it.
This domain used to host Lex Veldhuis's own poker blog. Several news sites still link to two of its old posts: his announcement of the fight, and a post about his travel plans for the WCOOP and EPT London that autumn. Those pages now hold independent, sourced write-ups of the same events, so the links lead somewhere useful instead of a dead end.
How the challenge started in 2009, the rules, and the second-round knockout on 22 November 2011.
The tournament calendar around the fight: 62 online events and a £5,000 main event in London.
From Rotterdam student to one of the most-watched poker streamers.
