Nielsen Takes the Cheesecake

Henri Koivisto raised to 1,700 preflop and received three callers in Martin Nielsen, Patrick Perez and finally Nester 'Cheesecake' Ygborn in the big blind. On the {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, play was checked around to Nielsen who led out for 8,700 only to be raised by Ygborn. Quicker than a jet propelled whippet, Nielsen shoved his chips across the line and we had ourselves a showdown.

Nielsen: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Ygborn: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Although all eyes were fixated on the potential pairing of the board, it was the backdoor that the Poker Gods flung open as the {J-Spades} turn and {4-Spades} delivered an unexpected flush draw.

Double up for Nielsen whilst Ygborn takes a nasty hit.
