Raymer Takes a Hit and Keeps Smiling

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

If there's a nicer guy in poker than Greg Raymer we don't know about him. The player on the button min-raised on the button and Raymer moved all in from the big blind. The player called for 3,100 and the hands were turned up.

Raymer: {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Player: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

The board ran {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} and Raymer lamented, "I wish I had ace eight." Raymer never stopped smiling as he sent chips across the table.
