Raymer Gets his Chips Back

Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer
Preflop, a late-position player made it 800 to go and Raymer called from the button, as did the big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and the big blind checked, while the late-position player made it 2,000 to go. Raymer made the call, but the big blind folded. The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and Raymer's opponent made it 1,000 to go, which Raymer called. The river was the {K-Hearts} and again the late-position player fired 1,000 into the pot, and Raymer called. Raymer's opponent showed {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and Raymer gracefully tossed his hand into the muck.

In a subsequent hand, on a board of {9-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, the same late-position player checked and Raymer fired 6,500 into the pot. His opponent made the call and Raymer showed {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} for trips, while his opponent mucked. After the hands, Raymer is up to 22,500 in chips.
