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.

on the river.
