Racener Sits, Doubles, Leaves

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

John Racener has been moving back and forth between this event and the $3,000 Limit Hold'em event to good results so far.

A few hands after break ended, we caught up with Racener in a hand where he had opened for 2,300 preflop from the hi-jack position. The player on the button re-raised to 10,000 and Racener responded by going all-in for his remaining stack - about 20,000 total. His opponent called.

Racener: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}, giving Racener the winning hand with a full-house.

Racener stacked his pile of chips worth a bit over 50,000 and left to go play in the Limit event for a while.
