Racener Chips Up Through Al-Keliddar

Before the first draw, John Racener in the small blind, Yaser Al-Keliddar in the big blind, and a player in the cutoff each put in three bets.

Racener and Al-Keliddar each drew two and the cutoff drew three.

Racener led out after the draw, Al-Keliddar raised, the cutoff folded, and Racener called.

On the second draw, the two remaining players each drew one, then Al-Keliddar called a bet from Racener.

For the final draw, both players stood pat. Then Racener fired out one more bet, which Al-Keliddar called.

Racener turned over number two and dragged a substantial pot to bring his chip count back toward a starting stack.
