Edge Holds On for the Knockout
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 6♣6♠10♠ and roughly 15,000 in the pot.
After the flop a player in the hijack checked to Matt Edge who bet out 3,000. Then a player in the hijack raised all in for his stack of 24,700. After thinking over his decision for over a minute, Edge found the call to put his opponent at risk.
Hijack: A♠K♠ 
Matt Edge: Q♠Q♥
Edge was ahead with his pocket queens but would need to fade the two over cards, and the flush draw of his opponent. But when the board ran out 9♣ on the turn and 2♣ on the river, the pocket queens of Edge were still best, to take the pot and eliminate his opponent.
