Hand #245: Jonathan Duhamel

John Racener has the button.

Both players are in for the minimum 1.6 million this hand. Jonathan Duhamel is first to act on an all-spade flop {9-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}. For the first time tonight, he elects to lead into Racener with a bet of 1.8 million. Racener folds.

Hand #243: Jonathan Duhamel

John Racener has the button.

"Come on John, get aggressive!" a memeber of the audience shouts out. MOC Jack Effel replies, "I love advice from the audience." Racener flashes a smile but doesn't take the advice to heart this hand. He open-folds the button.

Hand #239: John Racener

John Racener has the button.

Racener limps in again. Jonathan Duhamel checks again. Racener is really trying to keep pots small before the flop. This flop comes {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and draws a check from the first-to-act Duhamel. Racener fires a bet of 2 million into the pot that is called by Duhamel.

The turn card is the {4-Diamonds}. Duhamel checks again. On this street, Racener takes his time betting 6 million, probably about 30 seconds in total. That bet represents about 25% of his remaining stack and convinces Duhamel to fold.
