Before the break, we caught up to find Jennifer Tilly and an opponent looking at a board of

Occam's Racener
Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
We saw 2010 WSOP Main Evenr runner-up John Racener involved in a preflop raising war, one which eventually saw the pro surrender.
After a player opened for 425, Racener popped it to 1,025, but his opponent topple his stack over into a pile, signifying an unconventional all in move. Studying the situation for about a minute, Racener finally decided that simplest answer is usually correct, and he made the fold.
Unfortunately for Racener, this hand was a sign of things to come, and he was eliminated just a few deals later.
