What Will Be the Fate of the Fossil?

As is his custom, Greg Raymer is using a fossil as a card protector during this event -- in this instance, a largish, beige-colored, fossilized sand dollar (see near his left hand).

Raymer has said he plans to use a different fossil in each event at this year's WSOP. Then, when he is eliminated from a tournament, Raymer plans to sign the fossil and note the event and give it to the player who busts him.

What happens if he wins the tourney? Raymer has said he will then mount the fossil on his mantle as a memento of the event.

Just four players left with a chance to take the bracelet -- and the fossil -- away from Raymer. Raymer currently remains the chip leader with 7.24 million, with Vitaly Lunkin his nearest foe with 6.69 million.
