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.
