John Racener, Gary Bolden Renew Their Battle For the Title on Day 4 of Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.

John Racener has more than the title and $206,321 top prize at stake when he resumes his heads-up battle with Gary Bolden on an unscheduled Day 4 of Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. at 1 p.m. local time.

Racener was already having a sensational summer even before this tournament, with 16 cashes, three final tables, and his second career World Series of Poker bracelet in the $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship. A win here today would put him alongside Scott Seiver and David Prociak as multiple-time bracelet winners this year, and would also move him up within 100 points of Seiver in the Player of the Year race with just a few events to go.

Bolden is also looking for a career-defining victory. The two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner has WSOP cashes dating back to 2009 and more than $1.5 million in live earnings, but he’s never been this close to a bracelet before.

2Gary BoldenUnited States4,275,0004

Racener and Bolden played for three hours last night but were unable to settle a winner by the time play was halted past 2 a.m. Racener holds the chip lead with 10,050,000 to Bolden's 4,275,000. The action picks up on Level 34 with 250,000-500,000 blinds and 500,000-1,000,000 limits. Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better will be the game when they begin.
Bolden starts the day with four big bets, while there are just over 14 big bets in play between them, so the pace of play should be fast right from the beginning.
