Meinders' Boat Sends One Home

We caught up after the hand was just ending on a completed {3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} board. Brian Meinders was scooping a sizable pot and had pocket queens in front of him for a queens-full of treys. He had apparently just busted an opponent after being check-raised all in on the flop. The board left Meinders' opponent second best and he was sent to the rail.

Meinders, who recently won Event 25: $1,500 Limit-Hold'em Shootout, is up to 450,000.
