Racener Speeds Ahead

John Racener
John Racener

John Racener raised to 5,600 from middle position, and Ludovic Lacay and Brian Rast both called to see a three-handed flop.

It came down {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, and the table checked to Rast. He fired out 13,500 only to see Racener check-raise to 60,000 straight. That folded Lacay, but Rast called to see a turn card.

It was the {8-Clubs}, and Racener led out with a covering all-in shove. Rast called all in for 68,000, and he was at risk of elimination as the cards were turned up:

Racener: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Rast: {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

It was two pair for Rast that had him in the lead, but Racener had a myriad of river outs for the knockout. The {2-Clubs} that filled out the board was one of those out, and his aces up deal a crushing blow to Rast, running him out of the room.

Racener is all the way up to 360,000 after that big pot.

Selbst Falls Out

Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Vitaly Lunkin opened the pot with a late-position raise, and Vanessa Selbst three-bet to 10,400 from the big blind. Lunkin called, and the two of them took a flop of {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, and Selbst moved her last 23,400 chips into the pot. Lunkin quickly called.

Showdown
Lunkin: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Selbst: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} {7-Hearts}

It was bad news for the at-risk Selbst, out-pipped by Lunkin's one-better overpair. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank for her, and so was the {7-Spades} river, and she has run out of chips. Lunkin notches the knockout, chipping up to 125,000 in the process.

Dwan Busts Benyamine

David Benyamine
David Benyamine

With David Benyamine's last chips in on the flop, Tom Dwan and Tony Paino continued betting into the side pot on the turn with the board reading {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}. Dwan bet 42,800 and Paino called before both players checked the {5-Diamonds} river.

Paino showed {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for trip fours but Dwan had caught the river with his {5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Dwan takes the pot to move up to 289,000. Paino is down to 145,000 while Benyamine's cards hit the muck and he was eliminated.

Boatman Finds Double

Ross Boatman was all in from the cutoff following a raise from Noah Boeken who was in the tank as we approached the table. It was 28,400 to to Boeken who deliberated before committing to match the bet.

Boatman: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Boeken: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Boatman had the advantage with the aces, but the flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} turned things around as Boeken flopped two pair. However the {3-Diamonds} on the turn and {3-Spades} on the river gave Boatman a better two pair with aces and threes to collect the double up.

Boatman is up to 62,000 with Boeken at 87,000.
