Xavier Van Belle was just eliminated in brutal fashion. Here's how it went down.

Action folded around to Van Belle in the cutoff and he pushed all in. Matt Lessinger called from the big blind and the players showed:

Van Belle: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

Lessinger: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

What started as a 93% advantage for Van Belle quickly evaporated when the flop came {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. The

{3-Clubs}

hit the turn meaning Van Belle could only split the pot. To add insult to injury, the case {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

fell on the river and Lessinger's hand was best.
