Dunst Scores Massive Double with Aces
John Racener opened to 60,000 from late position before Tony Dunst three-bet to 230,000 out of the small blind. Action folded back around to Racener who came over the top for 645,000. Dunst just called to send the two players to the flop with over 1,000,000 already in the middle.
Dunst checked following the 4♠J♣6♥ flop and then called a continuation of 390,000 from Racener.
The 2♦ turn saw Dunst check for a second time at which point Racener decided to bet enough to force his opponent all in. Dunst wasted little time in making the call for his tournament life.
Tony Dunst: A♥A♣
John Racener: K♠K♥
Dunst had picked up pocket rockets at the perfect time to set himself up well for a massive double up. The river brought no miracle for Racener, instead bricking out with the 2♣ to send one of the biggest pots of the day to Dunst.
