After a flop of 7h6d5h, a three-way all in ensues at table 6.

Jay Romano holds 4d3h for a seven-high straight, another player tables the same straight with 4s3c, while Vee Page has both players drawing to a chop as she turns over 9c8h for the nut straight. The 8s lands on the turn to potentially put a nine-high straight on the board, but the river is the Js to give Page the entire pot and a stack of roughly 70,000.
