Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Over at the feature table, Kresten Nielsen got his stack of 776,000 all in preflop holding the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and was racing against the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} of the start-of-the-day chip leader, Tom Middleton.

The {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop didn't hit Nielsen directly, but it did give him a wheel draw. The turn wasn't a deuce, but it was the {A-Spades}. Nielsen, who is a very emotional player, spiked one of his cards and subdued a celebration by shaking his first. He then waited patiently for the river to be run out, which was the harmless {K-Spades}.
