Kopp Coolered, Runs Second Nuts into Nuts

After a series of preflop raises, Billy "Patrolman35" Kopp and Nicolas Babel took a flop of {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. They both checked.

Fireworks exploded after the {a-Clubs} turned. Kopp checked-raised Babel all in, and Babel snapped it off with the stone cold nuts.

Showdown
Kopp: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Babel: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Kopp needed the case ace to survive, but found no help from the {k-Spades} on the river. Kopp hit the rail while Babel ballooned to 500,000 chips.
