Friis' Big Bluff Called Down, Crippled Then Busted

We came into a hand where on a board of {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and 100,000 or so already in the pot, Kennth Friis went all in on the river. After a little bit of time, he got a call from his opponent who showed {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and his {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} were clearly beat as he said "Nice call" and pushed over all but 2,800 of his stack.

Two hands later he pushed his last 2,800 in from early position, and the same player who crippled him raised to 6,000. Everyone else folded and Friis showed {k-Hearts}{4-Spades} while his opponent had him dominated with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} and he again announced nice hand and walked off into the sunset.
