Hand #212: John Racener

John Racener
John Racener

Jonathan Duhamel has the button.

He raises to 2.5 million again, and this time John Racener takes pause from the small blind. He eventually calls, and Joseph Cheong comes on into the pot as well, our second family pot of three-handed action.

The flop comes {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {A-Spades} which looks pretty fun but ultimately results in three checks.

Turn: {2-Diamonds}. Cheong bets 3.5 million now, enough to fold Duhamel quickly. Racener, however, is unconvinced as he plunks in the call.

River: {9-Hearts}. Cheong checks, and Racener checks it right back. He's first to show, and he tables {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds} for the set. That gets Cheong's cards into the muck and the pot into Racener's stack.

Hand #203: Joseph Cheong

Jonathan Duhamel has the button.

He raises to 2.5 million, and Joseph Cheong calls from the big blind.

The flop comes {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Spades}, and Cheong taps the felt. Duhamel does likewise, and the {9-Clubs} appears on fourth street. When Cheong checks a second time, Duhamel makes a bet of 2.45 million. The call comes after a moment, but there are two more checks after the {3-Hearts} to bring us to showdown.

Cheong shows his {Q-Spades} {9-Spades}, and it wins the pot.
