A Big Race for Chan and Nielsen

In a pot worth over 200,000 chips, Terrance Chan and Thomas Nielsen got it all in preflop, with Chan being barely covered. He showed down {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} and was at risk of elimination, racing the {A-Spades} {K-Spades} of Nielsen.

With no further action, the board was run: {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Chan's set on the flop earns a big pot from Nielsen, moving him up to 203,000. Nielsen, meanwhile, has been crushed all the way back to just 3,500 chips.
