Racener Runs Into a Wall

We caught up with the action on a {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs} board, where a player in early position led out for 375 after Racener checked from the small blind. Racener then check-raised to 1,025 and his opponent quickly called.

When the {9-Hearts} completed the board, Racener fired a 2,300 bet and his opponent didn't take long to push in a call. Racener looked hesitant to show and his opponent revealed {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for a pair of queens. Racener mucked and is down to 26,000.

Player Chips Progress
26,000 -4,000
