Salem Extends Chip Lead; Racener Left Struggling
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
John Racener opened from middle position with A♥J♦. The bet was 400,000, and chip leader Naseem Salem defended his big blind with K♠8♠.
He then checked his top pair on K♥5♣9♥ and Racener continued for 300,000. A check-raise to 900,000 from Salem saw Racener relinquish his cards to the dealer.
