A Chop Snatched from the Jaws of Victory

Julien Nuijten was on the verge of doubling through when he moved his short stack in with {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} versus {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. The flop was {10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, and although his eyes will have been looking out for a jack or a queen, the turn and river snuck out a flush with a {2-Diamonds} and {4-Diamonds} respectively to chop it up.
