Racener Continues to Climb
Stud 8 or Better
John Racener: K♣Q♠/K♠4♦3♦9♠/9♣
Ryan Roeder: A♦5♣/7♠3♥A♠8♥/10♣
After Clayton Mozdzen folded to a bet from Ryan Roeder on fifth street, John Racener, who was down to just over one big bet commented "Just the card I didn't want to f***ing see" before heading into the tank for almost two minutes.
Ultimately he decided to soldier on in the hand and put in a call.
Roeder bet sixth street and Racener called all-in. His kings did indeed trail Roeder's aces with a low, but by picking up an nine on seventh street, Racener was able to survive with a chop by making two pair for the high.
John Racener: XxXx/6♦5♥7♥
Gregory Kelley: XxXx/6♠J♦8♠ - folded fifth street
Shortly after, Racener was able to complete on third street and then bet fourth and fifth streets against Gregory Kelley before Kelley folded on the first big bet round to send the pot to Racener, whose stack continues to grow in health.
