Fossilman Buried

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Greg Raymer Was All Smiles Earlier in the Day, but a Busted Bluff Has Sent the Former Champ Packing
Greg Raymer Was All Smiles Earlier in the Day, but a Busted Bluff Has Sent the Former Champ Packing

Whenever the camera crews begin circling like vultures here on a Day 1 flight of the Main Event, it usually spells either triumph or trouble for one of the field's brightest stars.

For the champion of the 2004 Main Event, Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, the arrival of the film crew spelled the latter.

According to the helpful poker fans lining the rail alongside Raymer's former table, the action began when he opened to 800 from UTG+1, receiving calls from a player in middle position, as well as Andy Miller in the big blind.

When the flop brought a rainbow board of {10-}{5-}{5-} to the table, Miller led out for 2,000, and both Raymer and the third player in the hand flatted. The turn card was a {3-}, and again Miller led out for a bet, this time for 3,000.

Raymer decided to spring his trap, jamming all in for a sizable stack in hopes of forcing his opponents off the pot. The player in middle position tanked for a solid two minutes, but eventually folded while flashing his {A-}{10-} to the rail. With the action back on him, Miller decided to look "Fossilman" up and he made the call with {Q-}{10-} for top pair.

His bluff called, Raymer could table only the {A-}{K-} and he would need an ace or a king to extend his latest Main Event run.

River: {3-}

With that, the buzzards began filming Raymer's departure, and the champ was typically gracious in defeat, offering Miller his trademark fossil card protector as a memento of their all-in encounter.

Hansen Takes One Out

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Thor Hansen
Thor Hansen

The action started with Thor Hansen opening to 700 from middle position, and finding a call from the player near the button, as well as both blinds.

The flop came down {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, as the blinds checked their options, before Hansen threw out a continuation bet of 1,400. His opponent then raised it up to 7,225, which he thought was his all in. He hadn’t realised the 500-chip that was protecting his cards, as the action folded back around to Hansen, who also hadn’t noticed, and made the call.

The {10-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Hansen threw in a 500-chip, and his opponent called, as both tabled their cards.

Hansen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Hansen was in great shape to eliminate his opponent from the tournament, and when the {5-Diamonds} completed the board, he had done just that, with his ace-kicker proving the difference .

One for Action Dan

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

After a player limped under the gun, Dan Harrington called from middle position. The blinds came along and four players saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Three checks put action on Harrington and he wasted little time in betting 500. The blinds folded, the under-the-gun player called and it was heads-up action to the turn, which came the {3-Hearts}.

After a check, Harrington bet 900 and the under-the-gun player check-raised to 2,400. Harrington thought for about 20 seconds before three-betting to 8,400 and it did the trick as his opponent quickly mucked.

Jarvis Climbing

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Matt Jarvis (during Event #57)
Matt Jarvis (during Event #57)

One time bracelet winner, and 2010 WSOP Main Event 8th place finisher, Matt Jarvis, recently won a big pot to boost him up the chip counts.

The hand started with Jarvis opening to 700 from under the gun plus one, and finding a call from the player in the cut-off as well as on the big blind. The flop came down {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, as the action checked around to the player in the cut-off, who made it 1,125 to go. Only Jarvis made the call, as both players watched the {j-Clubs} fall on the turn. Jarvis checked, as his opponent thought about his decision, before betting out 2,225. Jarvis went into the tank for over a minute, before raising it up to 5,450, which was called. The {a-Hearts} completed the board, and Jarvis took his time once more, before betting out 8,650. His opponent eventually made the call, and mucked his hand, as soon as Jarvis tabled his {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a set of jacks.

Melanie Weisner (earlier in the series)
Melanie Weisner (earlier in the series)

The hand started with Melanie Weisner opening to 725 from under the gun plus one, and found two callers. The flop came down {j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts}, before Weisner threw out a continuation bet of 1,075, which was only called by the player on the button. The {10-Spades} fell on the turn, as Weisner checked her option, before folding her hand, when her opponent placed out a bet of 2,725.

Maxim Lykov Lets One Go

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

With the flop reading {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Maxim Lykov bet 1,200 into an opponent who checked to him, and the player flatted to take the turn.

When the {6-Spades} arrived on fourth street, the player led out for his own 1,200 wager, and it was Lykov's turn to smooth call.

The {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river, and Lykov's opponent bet 2,200, which was enough to force a fold from the Russian pro. This proved to be a wise decision, as the winner turned his {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} face up to show the table he had flopped a set. Despite this small setback, Lykov still sits in a comfortable chip position midway through Day 1b of the Main Event.
