Hand #223: John Racener

John Racener has the button.

He limps into the pot. Jonathan Duhamel checks his option, bringing us to the first flop of heads-up play. It comes {8-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, drawing a murmur from the theater. Duhamel checks. Racener bets 1.5 million and takes down the pot.

As Racener stacks his chips, he starts smacking that ever-present chewing gum.

John Racener has the button.

For the second button in a row Racener limps in. Jonathan Duhamel checks to a flop of {j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Both players check it through. The {q-Hearts} on the turn puts four Broadway cards on oard. Duhamel leads out for 1.7 million, a bet that causes Racener to muck his hand.

Hand #227: Jonathan Duhamel

John Racener has the button.

In a recurring theme, Racener limps his button and Jonathan Duhamel checks the big blind. Duhamel also checks a paired flop, {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, then calls a bet of 1.5 million from Racener. Both players check the {9-Diamonds} turn. When the rivr falls the {10-Clubs}, Duhamel leads out for 2.2 million. Racener wastes no time in folding.

Racener is down to 25.45 million.
