Racener Runs into a Set; Eliminated

Dan O'Hair

We caught up with the action on a {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} flop. John Racener already had 15,000 in front of him from the button. His opponent in the small blind raised enough to put Racener all in. Racener tanked, but eventually said, "Alright, I call."

Racener: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}

Racener was in horrible shape and would need to catch a king to survive. The {6-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river were no help and Racener was sent to the rail.
