Fossilized

Farewell, Fossilman
Farewell, Fossilman
We were walking along the rail when, lo and behold, we ran smack into Team PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer. The last time we saw him, he was sitting in front of a small stack of about 15,000 chips, so we asked him for the story. He's out, if you couldn't gather that, and here's the skinny (if you will) on what happened.

A player across from Raymer opened the pot with a raise to 1,500. Fossilman three-bet him to 4,300, and his opponent made the smooth call. On the flop of {6-Hearts} {7-?} {8-Hearts}, Raymer moved all in for about 11,000. His opponent quickly called, and the cards were on their backs:

Showdown
Raymer: {Q-?} {Q-?}
Opponent: {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Raymer was in the lead, but he'd need to fade an awful lot of outs to survive and double up. The {2-Hearts} on the turn was unfriendly for him, giving his opponent the flush and leaving him drawing dead to the river. The meaningless {A-Hearts} filled out the board, and Raymer wished his table luck as he headed off to finish up a few interviews.
