Racener Loses Big Pot Early

We caught up with the action on a board of {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} to find John Racener heads up in a pot of about 7,500 against his an opponent. Racener checked from the small blind and his opponent bet out 5,600.

Racener tanked before finally making the call. His opponent showed {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a straight and Racener tossed his cards into the muck, reeling from the substantial hit to his stack.
