Greg Raymer welcomed to the Champions Invitiational

The cards have been in the air for several minutes, but early on in Level 3, there's been precious little action. Greg Raymer visited for an orbit while the dinner break continued over in the $40,000 event, and the biggest excitement was when he found a smudged card -- the {2-Diamonds} -- and withheld it to furiously rub off a bit of embedded dirt.

Unfortunately he may have rubbed a bit too hard; the dirt came off but so did a bit of the finish, and after checking the results, a new deck was brought into play.

Raymer mentioned to his tablemates that he came over to have his aces cracked -- a reference in part to his late Day 3 action in the $40,000 event where that happened twice. "I want it to be here instead of there," he said, gesturing over to the empty feature table a short distance away.

Raymer soon returned to the other event, leaving 8,500 in chips and a fossil as a bounty for whoever gets the last of his chips, if in fact he's blinded off before he returns.
