Racener Done

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
John Racener lost a key flip.
John Racener lost a key flip.

We found John Racener with a raise of 50,000 in front of him before the flop. His opponent, Andrew Oh on the button, had jammed it in with a covering stack of a bit more than 400,000 and Racener decided to call off his own 400,000.

Racener: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Oh: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The flop brought additional outs for Racener: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, as a nine would now counterfeit Oh. The {5-Diamonds} turn was a brick and a {10-Clubs} river left Racener with naught.

"Good luck, guys," the former Main Event runner-up said as he exited the table.

One Bust and One Double

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Dimmig lost a ton of chips after he got it in with {K-Spades}{4-Spades} on a {Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts} flop only to see his opponent turn over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Both the {A-Spades} turn and the {7-Diamonds} river weren't what the chip leader wanted to see and he dropped 568,000 chips postflop.

One hand later, Ardie Ervin ran into the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} of his table neighbor and his hole cards were already rushed away. He was severely short stacked though, and bowed out in 43rd place.

Wilkinson Doubles Through Seidman

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We saw David Wilkinson all in preflop with his 225,000 chips on the button. Andrew Seidman called in the small blind and flipped over a dominating {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to Wilkinson's {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a turned flush for Wilkinson and now the two players are close to even in chips.

Three Pairs and no Action

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Andrew Seidman raised to 40,000 and then called the all in of Andrew Oh for 143,000 on top of that. Seidman showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} but could not score the knockout versus {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

One hand later, Seidman min-raised again and Gennady Shimelfarb three-bet to 110,000 one seat over. Maurice Hawkins called on the button and the blinds folded. The {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Clubs} board was checked down, Seidman showed {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Shimelfarb turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Hawkins laughed before tabling {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. He ran away for a few seconds to cheer all by himself and then came back to stack the chips.
