Raymer Misclicks His Way Out

Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

Greg Raymer is the second person to hit the rail today, and this is one he'll be kicking himself about for awhile.

Mike Matusow limped under the gun, and Mike Sexton called from middle position. Sammy Farha joined from the small blind, as did Greg Raymer from the big. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Farha, Raymer, and Matusow all checked. Sexton bet 800, and Farha folded. Then Raymer check-raised to 6,000. As soon as Matusow check-raise three-bet to 15,000, Raymer said he'd intended to raise to 2,000 but had thrown in one T5,000 pink chip and one T1,000 orange chip instead of two orange chips. Tough luck, and after Sexton quickly folded, Raymer was pot committed. He moved all in for some extra loose change, and it was time for showdown.

Raymer: {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Matusow: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The turn brought the {4-Clubs}, giving Raymer two more outs to go with his flush draw, but the {9-Spades} river was a blank. Matusow's top two held up to eliminate Fossilman and boost Matusow to 65,000.

As soon as Raymer left, the table started laughing, all certain that he'd raised to 6,000 intentionally.
