Explaining to PokerNews how he was feeling shortly after winning another bracelet, Racener said, "Excitement, just showing my wife that it was worth it for me to be out here. To be away from the family and kids. The only thing that makes it worth it is if I win. I’m coming home with a third bracelet for our third boy. If I don’t, the trip was a failure.”
