It took over three minutes for John Racener to make his decision and in hindsight it's probably one he wished he could take back as it resulted in his elimination from todays flight and he'll have to come back tomorrow if he wants to make a deep run in this event.

It all started for Racener when he opened pre-flop to 2,000 and Jordan Cristos three-bet to 4,500 from the hijack. Racener made the call and the two players saw a flop of {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Racener check-called a 3,000 bet from Kristos and the dealer put out the {10-Diamonds} on the turn.

Racener check-called again, this time for 11,500. The river was the {7-Spades} and Racener checked a third time and Cristos bet again... all in... which was enough to bust Racener if he lost the hand. After the aforementioned tank, Cristos would show {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for the nuts, a Broadway straight, and Racener quietly pushed his cards into the center of the table and left the room.

Others joining Racener on the rail include Noah Schwartz, Jared Jaffee, and Mohsin Charania.
