Ray St Jacques is trying to do something special this afternoon. He began Day 2 at the very bottom of the chip counts; 117th out of 117 with 17,000.
He’s been working the entire time and finding his spots and staying around as players quickly hit the rail. His most recent boost came when he was all-in for his short stack with 
against 
.
The dealer put a jack in the window but followed that with gold for St Jacques, making a set when it came 
. The turn was 
and St Jacques stayed alive with quad tens after the river.
“Come on!” St Jacques celebrated. “Give me a story!”
Ray St Jacques – 62,000 (6.2 bb)
