Greg Raymer, Not Running Good

In short order Greg Raymer took two big, brutal hits to his stack. In a three way pot the board read {K-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Raymer had top-two pair, another player had bottom-two, and a third had flopped a set of deuces.

Losing that pot dropped Raymer down to 64,000 and not long after he was dealt pocket Jacks and lost to a player holding pocket sixes who flopped a set. That dropped Raymer's stack to 44,000.
