De Meulder Hits the Ace

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player in middle position opened for 3,000, and Ryan Olisar called on the button. Matthias De Meulder peeked at his holdings and then put in a re-raise to 12,000 in the big blind.

"All in," the opener instantly announced.

It looked to be 29,500, and Olisar folded, but De Meulder called.

De Meulder: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave De Meulder a hammerlock on the hand, and the {5-Clubs} turn and {j-Hearts} river were the last two cards the middle-position player would see in this event.
