Greg Raymer Looking to Continue 2020 Heater
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
There is a poker celebrity in the house here in the Parx Big Stax XXXII 1100 Championship.
In 2004, Greg Raymer became a poker household name after he bested a field of 2,576 players to win the World Series of Poker Main Event for $5 million. You might remember him defeating David Williams in heads-up play and competing at a final table that hosted such memorable faces as Josh Arieh and Dan Harrington. The "Singing Dutchman" Marcel Luske bubbled that final table finishing in 10th place for $373,000.
Raymer is looking to continue his hot start to 2020. In fact, it was just over a month ago that he topped a 520-entry field to win the Heartland Poker Tour East Chicago $1,650 Main Event for $171,411 and his record fifth HPT title. On top of that, he recently one some smaller tournament during a guest appearance at Black Oak Casino Resort in Tuolumne, California.
Raymer, the 2012 HPT Player of the Year, was also a recent guest on the PokerNews Podcast, which you can listen to by clicking here.
