Racener Scoops a Three-Way Pot to Leave Cates on Fumes and Bust Thomas

Level 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
John Racener
John Racener

Dan Cates raised in the hijack and John Racener called in the small blind. Charles Thomas then three-bet in the big blind, and Cates four-bet. Both opponents called.

Thomas bet on the [h7s6h] flop and Cates and Racener both called. Thomas then bet his last chips on the J turn, and Cates called. Racener then raised, Cates reraised, and Racener called.

Cates bet again on the 4 river. "I have a really strong hand. I should raise," Racener said as he just called, turning over 77 for a set. Thomas mucked AK and headed off to the rail, while Cates also mucked his hand and Racener scooped the massive pot.
