Raymer Busto

Greg Raymer - Eliminated
Greg Raymer - Eliminated
Jeff Dunbar opened with a raise, and Greg Raymer moved all in for about 13,000 total. Dunbar thought for a moment before making the call, putting the World Champ at risk of elimination.

Raymer: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Dunbar: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Thoroughly dominated, Raymer needed a lot of help to stay alive. The board, however, came out {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, holding Dunbar's overpair and sending Raymer packing.

After the loss, Raymer stood up and cheerfully chatted up the table and his opponent for several minutes while he finished his drink. He ran back through the hand, explaining what his shove range was and jesting in a good-natured way with his eliminator.

"The bad thing is now you're going to get sucked out on at some point in a bigger hand in a bigger tournament," he said. "Like the bubble of the Main Event."

The table shared a chuckle and Raymer finally bid them farewell. Dunbar, meanwhile, is alive and kicking, having vaulted up to about 55,000 in chips.
