Evan Bethyo Eliminated in 2nd Place ($104,789)
Level 31
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Evan Bethyo limped in on the button, and Greg Raymer checked his option in the big blind.
The ![]()
![]()
flop was checked by Raymer, and Bethyo bet 300,000. Raymer called.
Raymer checked again on the
turn, and Bethyo bet 400,000. Raymer check-raised all in, and Bethyo called off his last 2.1 million.
Evan Bethyo: ![]()

Greg Raymer: ![]()
![]()
Bethyo's pair of queens had been turned by Raymer's two pair, and Bethyo needed an ace, queen or deuce to keep the heads-up match going. The
river was no help for Bethyo, and he still walks away with a six-figure payday, while Raymer earns his record fifth HPT Main Event title.
Stay tuned for a full recap of the day's action.
