Main Event Champion Raymer Slowly Chipping Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
First, Greg Raymer raised to 5,000 on the button and picked up the blinds. A few hands later, Raymer raised to around 5,000 again from the hijack, and Kenneth Hardy came along from the big blind.
Hardy started with a check on the 2♥8♦Q♠ flop, and as Raymer reached for chips, Hardy had already tossed his cards into the muck.
