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

John Racener hasn’t been in the Championship long, but his presence is already well know. He recently played a pot against Staffan Lind (who lead the field following break) where Lind opened the action for 1,500. Racener was on the button and he three-bet to 4,200. It folded back to Lind and he four-bet to 11,500. Racener, angled away from the table and leaning back a bit, calmly announced “all-in” and slid his roughly 43,000-chip stack in the middle. Lind asked for a count, but ultimately folded.

The hand puts Racener’s stack at just under 60,000.
