Racener Eliminated; Cheong Last 2010 November Niner Remaining

We're not sure of the betting, but we do know that last year's Main Event runner-up, John Racener, got his stack of 52,100 all in preflop and was called by an unknown opponent.

Showdown
Racener: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Racener was in a dominating spot as the ESPN cameras swarmed the table. Unfortunately, Racener found himself in a head of trouble when the flop fell {5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, delivering his opponent a set. Racener stood in preparation for his exit as the {5-Spades} blanked on the turn. With the cameras rolling, in a hand that will no doubt make the broadcast, the {A-Hearts} fell harmlessly on the river and Racener's day was done.

With Racener's elimination, the only player left in the field from last year's November Nine is third-place finisher Joseph Cheong.
