Big hand reported to me now - resulting in an early elimination - It was watched by this perma-ring of spectators round Greg Raymer's table, and since he's the victor in the hand that crowd will only grow during the day, making it increasingly hard to get next to the WSOP Champ. Never mind, if I'd wanted to shake his hand I could have done so in the lift which Floppy and I shared with him this morning...
OK the hand - all the action preflop. OutMatey raised it to 150 preflop. Hard to realise at this point how 100x this amount is about to get into the middle, isn't it... Greg Raymer made it 450. OutMatey re-re-raised to 1,500. Raymer moved in. Call. Raymer showed: OutMatey showed:
No spiked higher pair and I find this all so improbable I am going to have to go and count his stack. I trust my source though, so up the story goes.
Amazing all in ....and even more amazing call......after so little time gone so far!!
