On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

I would like to say congratulations to Greg "Fossilman" Raymer for such a wonderful performance at the Main Event over the past 2 years. Not many people could win the main event, let alone beat out 5600+ players to come in a very respectable 25th place the very next year. Thanks for being such a great representative of 2+2 and best of luck in the future.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2..
 

Here! Here! Greg "fossilman' Raymer has been a great contributor to this forum. I personally owe him a big debt of gratitude for sharing his knowledge of poker with me. But more than that for just being a friend. He is a true gentleman. He's simply "the best". Congradulations Greg! And Congradulations to Cheryl and Sophie too!

Congratulations
 

Excellent job Fossilman. Coming in 25th out of that field is truly remarkable. I look forward to watching your play on ESPN this summer.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Nice job, Greg. It was a lot of fun tracking your progress. Amazing accomplishment.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Go Greg! Very well played, sucks to have two bad beats put on you that close to the second bracelet, but you made good decisions and that's all that matters. Well done.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Well done Greg. Most impressively played, and congrats on becoming a true ambassador of the sport I know enjoy.

To win against 2300+ competitors (and making it look pretty easy in the process) and come right back and get that close against 5,600+, simply has to be considered one of the greatest achievements in poker history.

A class act on top of all that. I know he can't wait to do it again next year. Congrats.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)

I'm gonna chime in with my own congratulations here. 1st then 25th in the largest WSOP ME fields ever. Great job fossilman.

Great Job, Greg!
 

One of the best title defenses by any champ.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)

Well, you kept me up late for a few nights but I was glad to do it.

Congrats on a great tourney!

Re: Great Job, Greg!
 

Let me chime in and agree. Thank you Greg, for everything you've done for 2+2 and for poker. Congrats and keep kicking ass.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Great job Greg.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Greg, I have always wanted to tell you that the game of poker is very lucky to have had such a respectable champion for the last year. I was hoping with all I had that your reign would last another year because I truly believe that you represent the best things about the game. A disappointing way to end, but the result is still a magnifent one, and I hope that your disappointment in not advancing further does not overshadow the true greatness you have acheived in your mind. A heartfelt congratulations from someone that has been reading these forums for a few years and learned a lot from your wonderful help before you were ever "World Champion."

I think I speak for everyone when I say we are all proud of the way you have represented us.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)

Keep doing what you are doing.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Way to go Greg!

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Instant cred for a lifetime, Fossilman. Well done.

Re: On behalf of all of 2+2.. (Raymer congratulation thread)
 

Congrats again.
