"Fossilman" Crippled Before the Break

Greg "Fossilman" Raymer
Greg "Fossilman" Raymer
Just before the break, 2003 WSOP Main Event champ Greg Raymer lost all but ~3,500 of his chips in a three-way pot holding a pocket pair of tens.

On a board showing {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}, action was checked around to an unknown player in the cutoff seat who opened with an 1,100 bet. Next to act, Raymer kicked it up to 3,200 and the action then fell to Simone Rossi in middle position who opted to shove all in for approximately 8,000. The cutoff folded, but Raymer made a quick call and tabled his tens; Rossi showed pocket eights for a set and the lead in the hand.

"Put a seven (on the turn) for entertainment," Raymer said, before the dealer burned and turned the {5-Spades}. "That's entertainment too," said Raymer, who held the {10-Spades} and a spade-flush draw. The last card to fall was the {A-Hearts}, a safe card for Rossi who doubled up with the win.
