John Racener Knocks Out Two to Take the Chip Lead


A clear chip leader has emerged in Day 1A, and it is local poker pro John Racener.

According to players at his table, Racener was just involved in a three-way all-in confrontation preflop, and he had both his opponents covered.

Racener had pocket aces against pocket kings and pocket queens, a very good spot indeed.

The pocket kings took the lead when a king came in the window of the flop, but Racener found an ace on the river to make a set of aces and eliminate the other two.

With that pot, Racener is now the chip leader with 134,000 chips.

Player A -    Players B -    Mike Puccio -    What about Hochman, and why is he the only one sitting down? A) he has everyone covered. B) He has    The flop comes out      , top pair for Player A, backdoor Broadway draw for Player B, Puccio has a gutter straight draw, Hochman still has the best hand and picked up the best backdoor flush draw too. Turn is  , river is   and most all of the chips in the entire building go sliding towards Hochman. No, really, he's now not just the D...
