Raymer Chipping Up

Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer
From middle position, Greg Raymer opened the betting with a raise to 400. A player in late position as well as the big blind called, and the three men went to the flop.

It showed up {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. The big blind checked, Fossilman continued out with a bet of 1,000, and the player next to act quickly called. The big blind ducked out, and it was heads up to the turn.

It brought the {8-Diamonds}, and both men checked.

River: {2-Spades}. With little hesitation, Raymer said, "Dos mil," betting 2,000 chips in Spanish. His opponent thought for several minutes before raising to 5,675. Raymer seemed confused, and took a moment to survey the situation. After about two minutes, he said, "Well, if you have a flush you win," as he dropped the calling chips into the pot. He tabled {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}, and his opponent shrugged and opened up his {A-Spades} {7-Spades}. Raymer's two pair was the winner and he pulled in the sizable pot, working his way up to 17,500 chips.
