John Racener Eliminated in 17th Place ($20,442)
Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo
Esther Taylor: J♥6♠4♣/J♣9♣4♠5♥
John Racener: XxXxXx/7♠3♠10♠2♥
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/5♣ - folded bring-in
John Racener called after Esther Taylor completed Phil Hellmuth's bring-in. Hellmuth folded, and Taylor then check-called a bet from Racener on fourth street.
Taylor then bet fifth and sixth streets before checking seventh. Taylor accidentally mentioned that she held two pair as she and Racener were discussing the spot with Racener holding just 5,000 chips behind.
Racener couldn't beat her two pair and checked back to save his last chip, which got in as the ante on the very next hand against Noah Bronstein. Bronstein made an eight-high straight while Racener couldn't fill a gutshot to a jack-high straight on seventh to end his day in quick fashion.
