Greg Raymer is the latest casualty of Day 1. Getting a little short on checks, Raymer went with queens up and four spades. He failed to make his flush, and Bruno Fitoussi got the best of him, running down a straight to eliminate the 2004 Main Event winner.
In his new tradition, Raymer scribbled something on the fossil of the day and handed it to Fitoussi, shaking hands and wishing the players at his table luck as he headed out.
