Raymer Shoves on Hachem
Joe Hachem and Greg Raymer are sitting at the same table for the second time today, this time over in the far corner with Christian Harder in between them. We pick up a pot involving both of them.
Hachem was in the hijack seat, and he opened to 5,500. From the button, Greg Raymer quickly announced an all in, and the small blind folded. The gentleman in the big blind, though, asked for a count and re-shoved all in himself. Hachem ducked out of the way, and Raymer was heads up and at risk.
"I guess I ran into a big hand by accident," he lamented, and the big blind tabled . "Oh, I'm actually a small favorite," Raymer giggled, flipping up to race for his tournament life.
The flop was no fun, as it came to put Fossilman in a deep hole with two to come. The turn was a friendly card, though, as he added a flush draw to his list of outs. Sure enough, the landed on fifth street, drawing an awkward "Bink!" from Raymer as he made his flush and doubled up.
"I needed a bink there," he said. "Now I'm awake and everything."
He's awake and he still in the game; Raymer's doubled up over 80,000.
