Nuts for Nielsen

We arrived to find Rasmus Nielsen in the process of doubling up, the board reading {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. We didn't see what his opponent had, but to be honest it hardly mattered as Nielsen was holding {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the absolute, stone cold, straight-flushing nuts.

Nielsen, who's best known for finalling EPT Copenhagen two years in a row (2008-9) and finalling the Amsterdam Master Classics in 2008 as well, doubled to around 27,000, nearly his starting stack. With a hand like that, though, he will probably be wishing he'd had more chips at the start of the hand.
