A Nasty River For Raymer

An early position player raised to 1,200 and 2004 Main Event champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer made a pot-sized reraise from the cutoff. The original raiser called.

Raymer's opponent checked the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and Raymer moved all in for 7,300. His opponent thought and then called the all-in bet showing {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Raymer turned over the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Raymer says, "That's a good card for you, it gives you more outs."

The river brought the {10-Hearts} and Raymer's opponent made a queen-high straight to bust the Fossilman.
