$1,650 Winter Poker Open Championship (Re-Entry)
Level 8: 300/600/75 Ante

We have another Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador in the game as former November Niner John Racener takes a seat in the steadily climbing Championship field.

He might be best known for his runner-up finish in the 2010 WSOP Main Event (plus the $5.5 million for the effort) but Racener was successful before he made headlines.

Racener made back-to-back WSOP Circuit Atlantic City Main Event final tables in December 2006 and 2007 with a third place followed by a title. In recent history, he cashed seven times this summer at the WSOP including the $50,000 Players Championship, the Main Event, and tenth in the $111,111 One Drop High Roller.

Setting aside the $5.5 million he earned for his 2010 November Nine payday, Racener has racked up $3 million with his other results combined.
