Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
“Ace on the River” may be the title of Barry Greenstein’s seminal poker book, but it also seems to be the theme of Emmanuel Ravelo’s last few levels.
Recently he got the last of his chips in with 
. The board ran out 
to deliver him the straight and prompt an incredulous opponent to remark, “Three times he’s had an ace on the river to survive.”
Hey, if it’s good enough for Barry.

Anita Vasquez has superman as card protector and lucky charm, which seems to help thus far. She knocked out a short stack with 
against for what looked like 3,000. On the 
flop she found top set and the opponent was already leaving his chair with no way to win the hand anymore. Both the turn and the 
river even gave her a full house.

We reported a short while ago that Lee Davy had hardly played a hand all day. Well he told us about one that occurred just a few minutes ago. Seat one opened for 800 and it folded to Davy in the small blind who shoved for just under 4,000.
While the big blind folded the original raiser called and tabled 
. Davy had 
and as the board ran out 
Davy more than doubled up.
Another player commented that now Davy had chips to play with and as he opened for the first time in hours but faced with a three-bet he folded and hung on to his newly won chips.

John Taylor limped in from early position and the two blinds including Bernard Lee checked through to see the three-way flop. Once the dealer fanned the 
flop, Taylor bet 1,100 and Lee called. After the 
turn, Lee three-bet shoved with 
but Taylor made the call with 
for the nut straight.
No jack or nine but the river completed the board and we lose Bernard Lee. John Taylor is among the current chip leaders.

Josh Harding raised all in from late position for 4,750 and the big blind made a quick call. They were racing as Harding turned over and his opponent had .
There was an ace in the window and king right behind, and Harding cringed as his neighbor was telling him that he folded queen-jack. The case jack completed the flop, however and Harding just needed to dodge four outs.
The board completed 
and Harding found a much needed double with his set.
