The Fossilman Making Friends

We spotted Greg Raymer in the house, presiding over a modest stack at the moment, but holding court as only the 2004 WSOP Main Event champion can.

Conversing with players at a nearby table, refreshing his memory on player's names he met in previous events, and generally bringing a jovial atmosphere to the tournament floor, the man affectionately known as "Fossilman" is still embracing his role as a true ambassador for the game, even here on Day 1 of a $1,500 NLH event. He has company in that regard, as another former Main Event champion in Joe Cada (2009) is sitting at the next table over.

We will be sure to track the champ's progress as he tries to build a stack suitable for a player of his stature.
