Horror Story for Neilsen

When the cards were revealed, Kasper Nielsen (small blind) will have been forgiven for holding his palms out before him and assuming a double though, his {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} in dominating shape against button Steven King's {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Even when the {3-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Spades} flop hit the felt, he will have remained unfazed, but following a {J-Clubs} turn, the {10-Clubs} hit the river to deliver King a rather unexpected pot, and turn Nielsen's face as white as his namesake.

As Neilsen left to share his tale of woe with a friend at ringside, King sheepishly raked in the pot and began reconstructing a now 70,000 stack.
