First Monster Pot of the Level

And the winner is... John Racener. Very interesting hands sometimes start with a limp-check, and this was one of those. Jeffrey Lisandro and Felipe Ramos limped, and Racener checked his option. It looked like a check-round on the {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} flop, but on the {A-Clubs} turn it got a bit more frisky, with Racener checking, Lisandro betting 10k, Ramos calling and Racener responding with a raise to 44k. Back to Lisandro who called quickly, while Ramos took a little bit more time to make the call on the button, too.

The river: {3-Spades} You couldn't have asked for a more interesting card.

Racener checked, Lisandro fired 50k. Ramos gave it up after a bit of a dwell, but Racener finished his dwell with a raise to 165k! This sent Lisandro into a brow-furrowed self-counting tank, muttering what passed through everyone's mind at least once, "Six seven of spades?". It even sounded like he said, "Ace deuce of spades," as in that was the real monster he was deliberating over. Whether this was the case or not, we'll never really know as he eventually folded and Racener reissues his challenge for the chip lead.
