Re: The Raymer incident finally made my morning paper
For the too lazy to click...
LAS VEGAS - The 2004 World Series of Poker champion, Greg Raymer, knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
It's the walking away part that he has trouble with, as two would-be robbers learned when they tried to hold up the beefy, soft-spoken patent lawyer from Stonington, Conn.
Raymer, 40, fought the attackers Dec. 20 at the Bellagio hotel-casino when they accosted him outside his room after a game of poker, Las Vegas police said.
One thug pulled out a gun and said, "We just want the money," but Raymer, known as the "Fossilman," knocked one down and yelled for security. The men fled and one was arrested. A security officer said the suspect was a poker player.
