Hand #113 - Greg Raymer Eliminated in 3rd Place ($774,927)

Greg Raymer - 3rd Place
Greg Raymer - 3rd Place
Greg Raymer has the button in Seat 5. He raises to 400,000, Lunkin folds, and Haxton three-bets to 1,250,000. Raymer responds by moving all in for 8,105,000 and Haxton calls, having him slightly covered.

Raymer {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Haxton {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

With the crowd on their feet and Raymer calling "Presto", the flop comes down {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. The turn is the {3-Hearts}, the river is the {3-Diamonds} and Greg Raymer is eliminated in third place to a rousing ovation. Even the dealer gives him a round of applause.

Before exiting the stage, Raymer autographs the shiny fossil he had been using as a card capper and gifts it to Haxton.
