gradin123 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Nearing the final table at the latest $1500 NL event at the WSOP and Greg "the Fossilman" Raymer is currently the chip leader.This field starting with about 2100 players. So the fossilman is proving last year was no fluke. Here is the latest blurb about him at cardplayer."I'm either a genius or a moron with that call" - Greg RaymerLog: Greg Raymer makes it $22,000 to go preflop. David Slowik calls. The flop comes 10h-8s-6s. Slowik checks, and Raymer makes it $35,000. Slowik thinks for a moment, and then moves all in for about $190,000. Raymer goes into the tank, occasionally coming up to chat with Slonik, or more aptly chat at him. Slonink doesn't move, and Raymer inspects him for a while before announcing, "call." Slowik shows Qc-9c for no pair, and a gutshot straight draw. Raymer flips up the 7c-6c, for a pair of 6's, and a gutshot. The turn brings the Kd, and Raymer's sixes are hanging on tight. The river is the 2h, and Raymer's sixes hold up, prompting a number of "What a call"'s from the crowd. Raymer wins the hand, and now has approximately $500,000 in chips. Slowik had Raymer covered so he retains a very short stack.And the latest chip counts from pokerpages.11 players left Seat assignments and chip countJames Carter 315KBill Gazes 130KMarcus Stronzinger 270KSteve Rassi 160KWebber Kang 90KDevilfish 200KPeter Lee 430KFarzad Rouhani 200KMark Seif 360KGreg Raymer 460KMinh Nguyen 220KDavid Slowik $30,555 Link to post Share on other sites

MilesZS 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Good. I hope Raymer wins this event. It'd be cool if he won an event that wasn't NLHE though. Link to post Share on other sites
Don Giovanni 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 very impressive call. this should prove raymer was no fluke, though if you knew anything in the first place you would already know that he was no fluke. Link to post Share on other sites
kfernandez 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 He still has a long way to go to prove himself as a 'top' pro.His tournament record isn't that impressive [source: Hendom Mob DB]. Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierAlum 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Has a massive chip lead going into the final table...at 700k. Next closest is at 375k. I hope he pisses all over everyone and shuts up the haters for good. This guy knows how to beat large fields and accumulate massive amounts of chips. PERIOD.p.s. Mark Seif is a machine right now Link to post Share on other sites

Incubus77546 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 If Raymer wins people will say he got "lucky" again and then more people will flood this forum and be like "Its all a hoaxz0rz Raymer is a conspiracy!" and then people with like 5000 posts on this forum will be like "STFU n00b!" because they think they're cool cuz they have nothing better to do... When in reality we should be saying "Congrats Raymer!" Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 He still has a long way to go to prove himself as a 'top' pro.His tournament record isn't that impressive [source: Hendom Mob DB].I have an idea, grab 15K, go up to foxwoods, and sit in his 150-300 game that he always plays in, proceede to lose it to him, and then tell us that he isn't world class. Just because he hasn't played as much as a full time pro doesn't mean that he isn't a great player. Get your head out of your ass and stick it in a bunch of sand until you suffocate Link to post Share on other sites
