De Meulder Thinks He is Out...

Mickey Doft

...but actually doubles up. It was a blind vs. blind battle that involved Adrien Alibert and Christophe de Meulder.

Alibert raised to 4,700 from the small blind and de Meulder popped it to 17,000 from the big blind. Alibert made a small four-bet to 35,700 and de Meulder was quick to shove for an additional 48,800 more.

A quick call from Alibert revealed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

, trailing de Meulder's {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

. The board ran out {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

and when the river ace hit, de Meulder left the table angrily and mumbled something in Dutch. The rest of the table called him back to inform him he won, and needless to say he was quite happy.

He is up to 170,000.
