Kings Versus Kings Sends Home 2004 Champion Raymer
Seun Oluwole called under the gun and Weston Wells raised to 18,000 in early position and Nicholas Bond called in middle position. Greg Raymer raised to 70,000 to see Oluwole fold and Wells raised to 150,000. Bond folded and Raymer moved all in for 440,000 which saw Wells call to put the 2004 Main Event champion at risk.
Greg Raymer: K♣K♦
Weston Wells: K♥K♠
What looked like a chop was flipped on its head as the flop ran out 10♠8♠6♠ to give Wells a freeroll and flush draw to boot. The turn 2♠ locked up the pot for Wells before the A♦ river and the 2004 WSOP Main Event champion was eliminated from the tournament.
"Fossilman" signed a fossil for Wells as he wished his table mates luck, departing the field fifty or so spots away from the money.
