Bubble Approaching

Greg Raymer - Eliminated
Greg Raymer - Eliminated
We have lost two players in the last 20 minutes, bringing us nearer and nearer to the money bubble. With thirty-six players remaining, we need to lose just four more before everyone is guaranteed a payout. One of those who fell victim to the last level was "Fossilman" Greg Raymer.

Raymer lost about half his chips when he raced with his {A-?} {K-?} against an opponent's {6-?} {6-?}. The pair of sixes held up, and Raymer was down to around 50,000.

A few hands later, he and another player were tangled up in a pot with the board showing {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {5-Spades}. Raymer moved all in for a substantial amount with {10-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and was called down by his opponent holding {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. The {3-Clubs} and {6-Clubs} that completed the board were of no use to Raymer, and he couldn't beat ace high. Despite working with a big stack much of the tournament, Fossilman found himself petrified just a few spots from the money.
