Nitsche Philosophical in Defeat

Dominik Nitsche started the day on just about average, but he has now plummeted right into the 10-big-blind danger zone.
"I doubled someone up," he said cheerfully when a concerned member of the German press enquired as to what had happened. As it turned out, our roving reporter Gloria Balding and her giant cup of coffee witnessed it firsthand. According to her and her caffeinated friend, the board was jack-high and the chips went in at some point before the river, Nitsche holding a jack of some sort and local boy Radim Soudsky holding pocket kings.
Soudsky doubled to around 300,000 but Nitsche was left with just 45,000 or so - nine big blinds right now. We did see him go all in once after that but he got no callers, and remains in a precarious position as we near the bubble.
