Racener Out of Gas at the Finish Line
Stud-8
John Racener: (X-X) / / (X)
Robert Mizrachi: (X-X) / / (X)
Racener completed, and only Mizrachi called. He still wasn't too excited about his hand on fourth and check-called. He paired his jack on fifth and bet out. Racener called, then called another bet when he paired his nine on sixth. Mizrachi put in one last bet before showdown, and Racener went into the tank. Scotty Nguyen fell asleep at the table while Racener decided what to do. Eventually, John folded and Robert took the pot, chipping up to 370,000. They had to wake up Scotty to play the next hand.
Racener left himself short stacked with just 63,000. It only took him a few minutes to lose the rest and head for the exit. With his elimination, the field is only one from the money.
