Edge Flops the Nuts and Nearly Triples Up
Action was picked up on the turn with roughly 8,000 in the pot and the board showing 7♦6♠8♥2♥.
Matt Edge in the big blind and Debbie Lee from under the gun checked to a player in the cutoff, who bet out 3,500. James Lee on the button made the call, before Edge raised all in for his stack of 27,800. Debbie Lee sat in the tank for over a minute before making the call. The player in the cutoff folded, and James Lee called all in for less.
James Lee: J♣9♠ 
Matt Edge: 10♠9♥
Debbie Lee: 8♦8♣
Edge flopped the nuts and left Debbie Lee needing the board to pair, and James Lee also had outs to a bigger straight. But the 3♠ on the river was a safe one for Edge who took the pot with his straight and nearly tripled up, eliminating James Lee in the process.
