Escape from the cooler

Guy directly to my right (not in the pot) is the maniac all the sharks are fishing for. I love my seat and recently doubled through the maniac. Very next hand, this gem comes up.

Both opponents are decent regulars who are multi-tabling. After counting down the clock I say to myself - "This HAS to be a cooler. It's gotta be set vs nut flush. Nothing else makes sense. Right????"
