Raymer Doubles With Some Words of Wisdom

donpeters

Former champion Greg Raymer can be seen decked out in a bright orange shirt and PokerStars gear. He's also got a bag with him, a crazy card protector, his hat, and sunglasses. The only thing he isn't sporting is a big pile of chips.

On this hand, Raymer bet the entire way and then moved all in blind after receiving his last card. His opponent called on every street.

Raymer turned up {Q-?}

for a seven low and the winning hand after his oppoent mucked.

He then leaned back to one of our reporters and said, "Razz is such a mind-numbing game that if you don't try and make it entertaining, all you'll have left is despair."

Chris Ferguson Missing?

[user22113]

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson had 700 in chips when he left for the dinner break. He has yet to return and is down to 350.

Where is he you ask?

Chris is currently in his third-round match of the $10,000 Heads Up Championship, and is unlikely to play razz again tonight.
