Ravnsbæk is Back
Simon Ravnsbæk was down to a mere 7,600 in chips, but just found the perfect spot and quadrupled up.
Chip leader Tiago Santos from Portugal opened from early position for 2,500 and the cutoff and button both made the call. Ravnsbæk in the big blind glanced at his cards, made one big tower out of his remaining 7,600, and slid them forward.
Santos wanted nothing to do with it and quickly released his hand, but the cutoff made the call. The button now isolated by raising to 25,000 and the cutoff eventually released.

The 
on the flop wasn't helping Ravnsbæk directly, but it did give him some new outs. One of those he hit on the turn; the 
gave his opponent a set but Ravnsbæk had a made straight. The pro needed just the board not to pair, and succeeded in that quest with the 
on the river.
