Lee Nelson Doubles Up

A short-stacked Lee Nelson decided to commit his chips to the middle pre-flop holding {A-Spades}{J-Spades} but wasn't happy when an opponent called with a dominating {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop of {3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Spades} gave his opponent a pair of kings, but actually gave Nelson additional outs with his flush draw. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing, but the {3-Spades} gave Nelson his flush and a much needed double up to put him back to around an average chip stack of 16,000.
