Matthias De Meulder won two significant pots in short succession, and he was kind enough to provide the details.

According to De Meulder, he called a squeeze in position in the first hand. The flop came {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-}. His opponent made a continuation bet of 7,000, and De Meulder called. The turn brought them the {9-Spades}. His opponent continued betting again and now led out for 18,000. De Meulder called again. The river was a {5-}, and his opponent shoved all-in for about 40,000. De Meulder called.

His opponent showed {J-}{J-} for a set of jacks, but De Meulder had him beat with {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for a flush.

Shortly thereafter, De Meulder raised to 2,700 from the cutoff, the player in the small blind three-bet to 8,000, and De Meulder called.

The flop was {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-}, on which both players checked. The turn brought them a {3-}, and his opponent check-called a bet of 13,000 from De Meulder. They both checked through the {6-} on the river. The other player showed {A-}{4-} off-suit, and again, De Meulder had his opponent bested with {7-Spades}{6-Spades}.

De Meulder is now playing with a healthy stack of about 290,000.
