John Racener just saw the player on the cutoff open to 30,000. Racener, in the small blind, three-bet to 82,000, and that sent his opponent in the preflop tank.
After about a minute, his opponent let go of his hand and Racener started stacking the chips he just won.
Racener, known for his runner-up finish in the 2010 Main Event, is seated with Joe Cada, who won the 2009 Main Event and won his third bracelet only a couple days ago.

flop, only to see the player on the seat next to him raise to 60,000.
