"A Devastating Pair of Hands" Leads to Greg Raymer's Demise

According to 2004 WSOP Main Event Champion Grey Raymer (via Twitter), an unfortunate couple hands led to his elimination about an hour ago.

Raymer's downfall began when he lost 65,000 chips with pocket tens against pocket sixes after a six fell on the river to give his opponent a set.

In the very next hand, a player in early position raised to 9,500, a player in middle position called, and Raymer moved all in for 84,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and the initial raiser re-shoved. The remaining player folded, and they showed down.

Raymer was in good shape to double up, but the flop put that dream to rest. The turn and the river changed nothing, and Raymer's run in the Main Event was cut short.
