De Meulder Taken Out

Pokerstars pro Matthias De Meulder had a pretty rough day today. He started out short, and he was never able to pick up any pots of significance all day. On the hand that did him in, De Meulder shoved under the gun for his last 5,700. It folded around to the cutoff, and he raised it up to 12,000. Everyone else folded, and the cards were tabled.

De Meulder: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

De Meulder would need to see paint on the board to win the hand, but the flop came nowhere close, coming down {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The turn didn't help things, coming the {9-Diamonds}, and De Meulder would need a king or a queen on the river to win. That card was the {a-Diamonds}, and De Meulder gathered his things and headed to the rail.
