Championship Day 1A: John Racener Wins a Multi-Way Pot

$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” Championship
Level 6:  200/400/50 Ante

John Racener
John Racener (Tampa, FL)

John Racener raised from middle position to 600, James Joyner called from the hijack, the button called, and the big blind reraised to 2,400. All three of the other players called.

All four players checked to the turn on a board of 7c5h4d3s, and it checked to the button, who bet 5,000. The big blind folded, Racener called, and Joyner folded.

The river card was the 10s, and both players checked. Racener showed 7h7d for a set of sevens, and the player on the button rechecked his cards and held onto them for a surprisingly long time (one player jokingly yelled asked for a clock) before he mucked. Racener took the pot.

John Racener  –  48,000  (120 bb)
