Racener Check-Raised; Gets a Rare Result

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

After betting in position after the final draw, John Racener got check-raised by his opponent. Not an ideal situation for Racener, whose stack had dwindled below 10,000.

Racener made the call and got the rare result of a chop, as both he and his opponent showed down {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.
