Greg "The Fossilman" Raymer

In May 2004, Greg Raymer made history when he became a World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion earning $5,000,000 after his heads-up victory over David Williams. Just one year later and the man nicknamed The Fossilman made another impressive run when he finished in 25th place in the 2005 Main Event earning $304,680. Here is a Raymer hand for you.

We caught the action on a four-handed flop of {6-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds}. The action checked to Greg Raymer, in mid-position, and he bet 1,500. The player in the cutoff made the call and the two blinds folded. The turn card was the {7-Diamonds} and Raymer moved all-in for 1,000 and his opponent made the call.

Raymer{8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Opponent{8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

So both players had made their straights and we were looking at a split pot.

River: {4-Spades}

Chop it up.
