Dehkharghani Left Short after Racener Hits a Broadway

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

The board read {9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} with a substantial pot in the middle already. Terrence Chan bet from the small blind and John Racener called in the big blind. The river completed the board with the {a-Hearts} for Chan to bet again. Racener called but mucked when Chan tabled the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for the full house.

"What kind of rules do you have for dealing?" Kevin Song asked the dealer. "I got seven-deuce three hands in a row!" Song continued with a story about how he once got dealt aces three times in a row but then lost all his money which prompted laughter from the table.

A few hands later, Racener had raised from the hijack and Ray Dehkharghani called in the small blind. The flop came with the {4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs}, Dehkharghani bet for Racener to call. The turn was the {j-Spades}, Dehkharghani check-called the bet of Racener to see the {4-Clubs} complete the board. Dehkharghani checked for the final time before Racener bet again. Dehkharghani contemplated for a bit and called. Racener tabled the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a Broadway. Dehkharghani rapped the table and then showed the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for the pair of queens.
