No Ray of Sunshine for Raymer

[user46392]

Greg Raymer: (XXX) / {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} {q-Spades}
Steven Albini: {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Clubs} / {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {a-Hearts} {10-Clubs}

We got to the table in time to see Greg Raymer call bets from Steven Albini on fourth and fifth streets; both players checked on sixth. Albini bet again on seventh and Raymer sighed deeply. He tanked for a while and eventually made the call.

"Flush, and an eight low," announced Albini, presumably in training for next week's stud hi/lo event.

Raymer mucked, and was left with just 800.

A few hands later and Raymer got his last 500 chips in. He had kings up by seventh street, and a pair of deuces to go with them, but his opponent turned over an unforgiving quad tens, and we are down a Team PokerStars Pro, and the last American one at that.

The hopes of Team PokerStars will now be resting on Pat Pezzin (Canada) and Alex Kravchenko (Russia).
