Lucky River for Alex-Barton
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Charles Alex-Barton in middle position and his 800,000 chip stack found himself at risk on the last hand of the day against Charles Russell on the button.
Charles Alex-Barton: A♦7♠ 
Charles Russell: J♥J♣
The flop of 5♥3♠10♣ was no help for Alex-Barton, but he found a straight draw with the 4♥ turn. He was 11 outs away from a ticket to Day 7, and he was lucky enough to hit one of them with the 6♠ river to complete his straight and double up.
