Raymer Doubles Up in the Pot of the Day
Russell Floyd has been enjoying his time in Day 1a of the Colossus with some beverages and many jokes with players and tournament staff. He recently got involved in a crucial pot with Greg Raymer.
Floyd raised from early position to 6,000 and Raymer three-bet to 16,000 in middle position. Floyd called and the two players went heads-up to the flop. The flop came 
and Floyd checked. Raymer bet 17,000 followed by an all-in from Floyd. As Raymer was thinking of what to do, Floyd started talking and giving his opponent the mathematical chances of him winning. Raymer eventually called for 56,800 and the cards were turned over.
Raymer: 
Floyd: 
Once Floyd saw the cards, he started yelling "Don't let the good players get lucky!" The turn card fell the 
and quickly the roles were reversed as Raymer took the lead in the hand. The river was the 
sending the pot to Raymer but Floyd wasn't leaving without a bang.
He was disgusted that he lost the pot and after running his mouth a little too much, tournament officials gave him not one, but a two round penalty. Floyd did not have enough chips to last a whole round and would be blinded out shortly after.
