After winning two tournaments in two days in Vegas last week, WSOP Main Event Champion (2004) Greg Raymer will try to win a third one with this 2023 WSOP Main Event. "But I don't care about the first two, I want to win this one", he said during the last break.

He had "an amazing start" so far, as he has already doubled his stack. And his good run continues, like when he opened in middle position to 800 and was called by both players in the blinds.

On K♠10♥K♥, he made a continuation bet of 700. The small blind folded, but Tauan De Oliveira in the big blind raised to 2,100. Raymer called, and a third king, the K♦, came on the turn.

Raymer bet 5,000. But this time, De Oliveira check-folded. "Phew", said Raymer while wiping his brow. When he did that, he had his cards in his hand and revealed the last king of the deck.
