Raymer Follows Phillips Out the Door
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Not long after the Elimination of Dennis Phillips, the WSOP-Circuit Harrah's St. Louis lost another big name in 2004 WSOP Main event Champion Greg Raymer. It began when Raymer and an opponent got all of the money in on a board containing {X}. Raymer held for a broadway straight, but couldn't overcome the flush of his opponent. That hand crippled Raymer.
Not long after, Raymer got his remaining chips in with against the pocket kings of Mark Koeln. The board did not deliver the help Raymer needed and he was eliminated from the Main Event. Meanwhile, Koeln is up to 175,000.
