Lee Nelson

Lee Nelson has just had a touch of luck when he committed his last chips on a flop of {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

. Nelson held {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

but was in trouble against his opponent's {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

. The news got worse for Nelson when another player at the table said he had folded {7-?}

{7-?}

{3-?}

to leave Nelson drawing very slim.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

but unbelievably the river was the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

to give Nelson a one-outer to stay alive! He's up to 10,000.
