��Lex Live 2 was a massive success. Everyone had a great time, so there was absolutely no reason to switch to a different venue,�� said Veldhuis to the PokerStars Blog. ��It just felt like a home run. I took a lot of feedback from people and everyone said the location was perfect.
��I can��t encourage people enough to come. It��s a great social event, and I think it would be great for people to get out and experience it. You��ll see there are so many people just like you.��
