The gentleman on the button had raised and his neighbour in the small blind reraised before de Meulder pushed for 23 big blinds in the big blind with 
. He got a call with 
and although the 
flop was good for de Meulder and the turn was even better, the 
on the river was disastrous as it made his opponent a straight, and we are down to a total of zero de Meulders in this tournament.
