East Coast Versus West Coast
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Greg Raymer is always good for a few quotes. There's a woman at Raymer's table that Raymer thought he recognized. He asked her if she was from the east coast of the U.S.; she responded that she's from the San Diego area. Raymer was surprised, because he recognized the woman and because most stud players are based on the east coast.
The woman responded that she primarily plays stud online and that she had played this event last year. She and Raymer (who formerly lived in Carlsbad, California) then began to discuss some of the San Diego-area card rooms.
Raymer's point has merit, however. More than most tournaments you see at the World Series of Poker, this tournament has a very heavy "east coast bias" to it.
