Finding a Nitsche

A tough break results in a deck change now as Dominik Nitsche turns the second nuts (top full house) into a very chunky pot much to the chagrin of his opponent. It turns out that the turn was the crucial card, and not the fourth heart river; the eventual board stood {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and after said opponent checked, Nitsche bet 7,500.

This was into a pot which already had a couple of 5k chips floating in it - and his opponent called as soon as the bet hit the table. He shook his head showing {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for the flopped full house, which was now crushed by Nitsche's {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a turned one.

Clearly not happy that his set mine had collapsed around him he chatted to a neighbour on the next table before taking his frustration out on the next hand dealt to him which he scrunched up and threw at the dealer before standing up and pacing back and forth (now did not seem an opportune moment to ask his name). With consummate professionalism the dealer called for a deck change without batting an eyelid while the table waited patiently (it was preflop with the deal midway). The sad {5-Hearts} lay crushed on the table while Nitsche continued to stack his 45,000 chips.
