Racener Getting Involved

John Racener has been pretty active in a couple of pots lately. On the first hand, after the board read {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, the small blind checked over the Racener and he checked behind. The river was the {J-Diamonds} and the small blind bet out. Racener made the call and his opponent showed him {8-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} to scoop up both halves of the pot. Racener was left with just 1,675 after the hand.

A few hands later, Racener was involved with Will "The Thrill" Failla. The flop came down {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} and Racener bet into Failla. Failla made the call.

The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and Racener bet again. Failla again made the call.

The river came the {4-Diamonds} and Racener bet for a third straight time. Failla made the call.

Racener revealed {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Spades} for a set of tens and a six-five low. Failla studied his hand, but then mucked his cards to give Racener the pot. He's now back up to over 3,000.
