John Racener Doubles Up; Eric Panayiotou Eliminated

After a flop of [QsJh10s], John Racener gets it all in under the gun for about 14,000 with [As7s] (ace-high flush draw with a gutshot straight draw) against Eric Panayiotou in the cutoff with [AcKs] (ace-high straight).

The turn is the [4s], the river is the [9s], and Racener wins the pot with a flush. Racener doubles up as Panayotiou is knocked all the way down to fewer than 2,000 in chips.

John Racener  –  33,000  (220 bb)
Eric Panayiotou  –  1,850  (12 bb)

The next hand, Panayiotou moves all in from the hijack for 1,850, and Steven Levy calls from the cutoff with [As6h]. Panayiotou turns over [Jd4d], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [Qd8h8s5s2h], and Levy wins the pot with his ace to eliminate Panayiotou.

Steven Levy  –  35,000  (233 bb)
Eric Panayiotou  –  Eliminated
