Greg "Fossilman" Raymer Won His PokerStars Platinum Pass at Mixed Game Festival
In October 2021, 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Greg Raymer walked away with $4,911 and a PokerStars Platinum Pass at the inaugural Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival.
The unique poker festival took place at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and included three days of mixed games cash games and was then rounded off with $200 H.O.R.S.E. tournament finale; where the winner would receive a coveted Platinum Pass as well as the first-place cash prize.
The PokerStars sponsored event was littered with a host of big names from all facets of the poker industry.
WSOP bracelet winners like Nathan Gamble, Robert Turner and Linda Johnson were just a few of those who were determined to get a Platinum Pass to the next PokerStars Player No Limit Hold'em Championship (PSPC).
The 124-player field, which generated a total prize pool of $20,460, was topped by Raymer who overcame Onur Unsal in heads-up play to get his hands on the winner's spoils.
Speaking to Cardplayer Lifestyle after his tournament win, Raymer emphasized just how much winning means to him regardless of what stature the event he is playing has.
“It means a lot because the PSPC is a huge event. If it’s like the last one, the winner gets $5 million. That’s as much as I got for winning world championship in 2004. It’s not like winning $5 million is ho-hum. Winning $50,000 isn’t ho-hum either.”
