Racener Eliminated by Gordon

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
John Racener
John Racener

John Racener and John Gordon were engaged in a battle of the blinds when we got to the table. Racener was in the big with a barely covering stack and the two players got all the chips in before the flop, creating a pot of about 275,000.

John Racener: {K-}{K-}{X-}{X-}
John Gordon: {A-}{A-}{X-}{X-}

Gordon had the preflop advantage and Racener needed to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out five high, connecting with neither player, so Gordon took the pot to leave Racener with crumbs.

Two hands later, Racener got the last of his stack in from the button against Gordon and Gregory Wood. Both players checked all the way down on the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board, and when all the hands were tabled, Gordon's {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Spades} was best, so he took the pot to end Racener's run in this event.
