Chris McCormack Eliminated

We caught up to this hand just before the flop. The exact action is unclear but Chris McCormack had all his chips in the middle against a lone opponent. The players showed:

McCormack: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

It was a race situation and McCormack pulled ahead as the flop came {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades}. The turn was a blank as it fell the {2-Spades}. There were just two cards in the deck that could send McCormack home, but unfortunately for him, the {Q-Clubs} that hit the river was one of them. He was eliminated just a few spots off the money.
