A month ago John Racener, 24, was awarded with $5.55 million dollars for his second-place finish in the the world's biggest and most important live tournament, the WSOP Main Event. Now, he's risking to spend a year behind bars. On Saturday night, John Racener was arrested for drunk driving in his hometown Tampa in Florida. He was released the following day, after paying the bail of $1,000, but is still suspected of drinking and driving and also for refusing to leave a blood test to the police.
Not the first time This is not the first time John Racener has been caught driving under the influence of alcohol. Racener was convicted for the first time back in 2005 and a second time in 2007. He was also convicted for assault last year.

This is very sad to see. He seemed like a very laid back collected young man. Reguardless of the bad beat he put on with the AQ he's a very talented young player. Keep in mind it's not just about skill in the M.E. guys, you have to get lucky as well. Let's be mature about this and understand that he obviously has flaws, possibly a drinking problem. Lets not judge before we understand we have self-issues that hold us back as well. I wish him and his family the best of luck and hopefully the sentencing he recieves will help him think more cautiously in the future.

Should go to jail. Never mind that finished second at the WSOP. It is a normal human being and should be tried as a normal citizen. That is my opinion.

Drunk driving is a big risk taking. I got hit by a car myself, not drunkdriving, but a reminder for how risky it is. And we know very well that drinking and driving makes you a bad driver! Put him in jail, no bail.

hes now been arressted for a 3rd time for drink driving,him finishing 2nd in the wsop has gone to his head i think,probably thinks hes got the money now so no need 2worry,hell get a top lawyer but its idiots like this that deserve to go to the jail for it being his 3rd time especially when he could have a chauffeur ffs,it wouldnt have been so minor if he hit s1 while drink-driving,maybe he needs a jail sentence to make sure he doesnt do it again and i dont like seeing any1 going to jail!
------------ i just noticed that he made the final table last week in the wpt diamond classic that esfandiari won,he was probably out celebrating,lol!

Well for me he should go to rehab. He is a good player and he has been caught drunk driving many times. he must face the law and suffer the consequences.. what a waste..

It's idiots like him that give poker a bad name. He should be excluded from all official poker-games for life... Only reason I could think of that he shouldn't; is that he probably ends up as a drunk. And people whith alcohol-issues are usually easy to clean out at the tables.
What a LOOSER!!

Aggro666 | 17/12/2010 14:08:54 GMT |
oh, I think he will have a good time, with his money he can arrange for sure a good looking boyfriend there, and the rest of the time he can play strip poker

I cant believe that people can do things like this!win such a huge money,can do whatever he wont in life and he go drive car when is dronk!what a idiot you have to be,you can pay person to driving you on every place and now he deserve to go behind bars!

Should throw him in jail for being a stupid cheap arse for not catching a taxi. If he got brains he would be dangerous. Three strikes give him the hammer.
