John Racener Poker Profile
John Racener is a member of the 2010 "November Nine" and will have approximately 21 million in chips when action resumes in November.--
According to his WSOP.com profile, John Racener was born in Dunedin, Florida in 1985.
Racener lists HORSE as his favorite poker game, but I'm guessing that he will have a sweet spot for No Limit Hold'em now that he has made the final table of the World Series of Poker main event.
John Racener had already compiled an impressive list of cashes prior to his appearance at the World Series of Poker main event final table. He already has over $1.1 million in total lifetime tournament cashes. Here are his five biggest to date (not including his main event cash):
2007 $5,000 WSOP Circuit Atlantic City, 1st, $379,392
2007 $10k Borgata Winter Open, 8th, $166,161
2006 $5k WSOP Circuit Atlantic City, 3rd, $103,527
2008 $2k NLHE Borgata Deep Stack Poker, 5th, $89,125
2008 $1,500 NLHE WSOP Circuit Tunica, 2nd, $53,269
Racener cashed four times at the 2010 World Series of Poker. Here are the three cashes prior to his appearance at the main event final table:
$10k PLO Championship, 21st, $24,815
$1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8/B, 36th, $4,060
$5k No Limit Hold'em, 60th, $12,283

John Racener goes by the alias "$30k" on Pokerstars and "POCKET FIVE" on Full Tilt Poker.
According to his WSOP.com profile, John Racener's favorite player is Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi - ironic, considering that both have made very deep runs in this year's main event.
Racener is a self-taught poker player who has been active on the live tournament scene for a number of years now.
