Racener Crushed by Moneymaker's Nuts

John Racener

On a {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, the slow-and-steady-wins-the-race table suddenly got all their chips in the middle. While they waited for the cameras to finish with Carlos Mortensen and Sam Trickett, Chris Moneymaker got yet another drink, and John Racener got ready to leave. His {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} might have been top pair, but he was drawing mighty thin against Moneymaker's {5-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a six-high straight. Racener was dead on the {7-Hearts} turn and gathered his life coach, his entourage, and his bling and peaced. CMoney will play Dan Cates in the next round.
