Fossilman, Meet Landfish

Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

Steven Landfish is the proud new owner of a fossil, and that must mean that Greg Raymer has been eliminated. A quick check with Landfish and his table gives us the dirt:

Raymer opened with a raise to 1,200 under the gun, and Landfish was the only caller. They took a heads-up flop of {K-} {Q-} (X), and Raymer led out with 2,000 chips. Landfish flatted, and the {A-} on the turn drew a check from Fossilman. Landfish took his cue to bet 4,100, Raymer check-raised to 14,000, and Landfish moved all in. Raymer had just a couple thousand left, and he went ahead and put them into the pot to put himself at risk.

Raymer turned up {Q-} {Q-} for the flopped set, but Landfish had turned Broadway with {10-} {J-}. Raymer couldn't fill up on the river, and he pulled a pen out of his pocket to sign a friendly message to Landfish.

Raymer is gone, and Landfish is up near the top of the board with 96,000
