"Hey Raymond," Kory Kilpatrick piped up. "What are you going to do with the money when you win?"
"Put it in the bank," Weaver, 69, grunted.
"You're not going to buy anything nice?" Hugh Henderson asked. "A watch?"
"No," Weaver responded. "I just want the ring...or the bracelet. Whatever they have here."
"We'll split the money," Henderson shot back, motioning over to Kilpatrick. "You can have the ring."
Weaver didn't respond for a good 10 seconds, then finally, he broke his silence.
"Is that a proposal?"
James Kinney opened from 80,000 from the button and Jonathan Moseley called from the big blind. The flop came and Moseley led for 105,000. Kinney called. The turn brought the and another bet of 125,000 from Moseley, again called by Kinney.
The river went check-check following the appearance of the , and with a little exasperation Moseley said "ace-high." Kinney showed for kings, and with a head shake Moseley tossed his hand face downward to the dealer.
Moseley has been sliding of late, and now finds himself under a million and in eighth position out of eight.

We've heard players say "everybody loves Raymond" more than once over the last couple of days, alluding to the popular TV show while referring to 69-year-old Raymond Weaver, usually after he's won another pot. We just watched Weaver pick up a couple more decent-sized pots to add further to his stack.
In the first, Weaver raised to 80,000 from early position and Jonathan Moseley called from the big blind. Both checked the flop. Then after Moseley checked the turn, Weaver bet 100,000 and Moseley called.
The river was the and this time Moseley fired 225,000. Weaver took his time, then raised to 500,000, and after a long think Moseley folded. Weaver showed his hand — — and scooped the chips.
On the next hand Weaver was raising again to 100,000 from UTG and Hugh Henderson called. The flop came , Weaver bet 150,000, and once more Henderson called. The turn then brought the and a bet of 200,000 from Weaver. Henderson raised to 550,000, and Weaver quickly said he was all in.
"You got it man," Henderson exhaled. "I can't call you." As he pitched his cards to the dealer, Weaver showed his hand again — .
After that sequence, Weaver has moved into first position, and while the others keep saying "everybody loves Raymond," we're not sure they really mean it just now.
