Racener Chops to Stay Alive

Phil Ivey: (X)(X) / {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {K-Clubs} - fold
John Racener: (X)(X) / {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {J-Spades} {3-Diamonds} / (X)
Dario Minieri: (X)(X) / {2-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {4-Spades} / (X)

Ivey folded out after fifth street, but Racener stuck around and called bets on every street from Minieri. After seventh, Racener called all in for his last 400 chips and was able to scoop the low half of the pot with the {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} underneath. Minieri held two pair with the {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} underneath and won the high. Racener stayed alive and built his stack by a little bit to 24,000 while Minieri moved to 45,000.
