By this I simply mean how many pots are slightly inflated for Greg by players playing to knock out the world champ and get a story to tell?

I don't think they can knock him out of the tournament yet since he's the chip-leader.
Otherwise, I think there's a combination of respect as well as 'it would be great to beat him' going on.
Not unlike me playing on Johnny Chan's table.
But for the most part I'm just trying to play good poker and I'm sure all of his opponents are too.
They probably don't care THAT much about knocking him out. They just want to finish as high as they can. Lots of money involved obviously.
However...I wouldn't be surprised to see Matusow play a few extra hands against him in hopes of hitting a big flop against Raymer.
