De Meulder Wheeled Out the Door
It was sad end for the last Team PokerStars Pro in the field.
Matthias De Meulder was sat in the big blind with 190,000 and faced a cut-off raise from Jason Wheeler. He moved all-in and Wheeler called.
De Meulder opened pocket queens, in great shape to double against the American's pocket jacks. The board ran 
to make Wheeler a set, the second time today he's busted a Team Pro who has held an over pair.
