The idea of the "ace in the hole" is elaborated in a track from the Into the Wild score called "Rise", composed and performed by Eddie Vedder (published September 2007):
Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
Suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole
Eddie Vedder - Rise
