John Racener More Than Quadruples His Short Stack

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
John Racener
John Racener

Immediately after losing most of his stack to Frederick Ginther, John Racener got his remaining 3,000 chips in from middle position. The cutoff called, Ginther called on the button, and the small blind three-bet to 18,000. The big blind folded and so did the cutoff and Ginther, and it was heads up.

Racener: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Ginther: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop gave Racener a pair of sevens. The {J-Diamonds} turn provided some straight outs for Racener, and the {7-Hearts} river gave him trips to win the pot and more than quadruple up.

Angel Fernandez Flops a Flush to Eliminate William Haggerty

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Angel Fernandez raised to 8,500 under the gun and William Haggerty went all in for 41,500 from the big blind. Fernandez thought for more than a minute and then called to put Haggerty at risk.

Haggerty: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Fernandez: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Haggerty's queens had a commanding lead, but the flop came {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, giving Fernandez a flush. It also gave Haggerty a set of queens, but he couldn't catch up on the {2-Diamonds} turn or the {6-Spades} river, and Haggerty was eliminated.

"I knew when you called I was dead," Haggerty said after the hand. "Never mess with the guy with chips," he added, and made his exit.

Ray Qartomy Doubles Up

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ray Qartomy just doubled up. He recounted the hand as follows.

His opponent raised to 12,000 under the gun and Qartomy three-bet to 26,000 on the button. The blinds folded and his opponent called. The flop came {Q-}{J-}{3-} and his opponent checked. Qartomy bet and his opponent check-shoved all in, putting Qartomy to a decision for his remaining stack of around 130,000.

Qartomy quickly called and was ahead with {K-}{Q-} for top pair with a king kicker. His opponent was open-ended with {K-}{10-} and the board ran out with two bricks. Qartomy took the pot which put him over the 300,000-chip mark.
