Christophe de Meulder's Day Is Done

Level 13 has proven unlucky for Christophe De Meulder as he has just been eliminated.

In his final hand, de Meulder had about 120,000 to start when he opened with a raise from the hijack seat. The small blind called, then the big blind three-bet, with both de Meulder and the small blind calling the reraise.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. The small blind checked, the big blind shoved all in, and de Meulder called with his remaining stack. The small blind stepped aside, and de Meulder showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for top pair. Alas for the Belgian, his opponent tabled {7-}{7-} for a flopped set of sevens. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and river the {4-Diamonds}, and de Meulder's day is done.
