As a father, I would have done exactly the same thing.

Good luck!

My wife was sitting in the press area, where only press and staff are allowed. She got special dispensation from the staff to be there. Some guy comes in who is not allowed, sits next to her, and starts asking her all about our daughter. He wants to know where she is, who's watching her now, what she looks like, and my wife is totally freaking out from his questions and attitude. She asks to have him removed, and tells me what was going on. I look at him on the rail a minute later, and he's pointing at her, pointing at me, talking to people in the crowd, and has a psycho-mad look on his face.

I stand up and tell him to watch himself. He has an even angrier look on his facee, and yells out that he was just asking about my daughter. My immediate reaction, based upon his demeanor and attitude is that he really is a threat. I told him that if he messed with my daugher or family, I would kill him. I shouted all this across a 20 foot gap, and yes, everyone could here it, and it happened.

And I wasn't lying. If anybody messes with my family, I'm going to kill them as certainly as I possibly can.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

Greg,

Sorry for such an inappropriate incident. You do not deserve such pain, regardless of your celebrity status. I have a young daughter (13), and if someone was to imply such a dangerous situation as this guy did, I would have probably done more than you did. Including getting in the guys grill and taking him to task then and there, regardless of the consequences within the tournament.

Take care of your family as it sounds you are. Oh, and win the damn thing. It would be great for the game, and for your pocket as well.

Good luck sir.

Greg, Good for you. I wish you would have had security grab the guy and get his name.

Now, go kick-ass in the tournament. We are all rooting for you.

Winning WSOP is a big deal. But not as big of a deal as protecting your family. Greg was 100% in the right what he did and I wouldn't've blamed him if he punched the guy out - no court is convicting him after some scumbag acts like he did.

Thanks for clearing that up, and I don't blame you one bit either. In fact, I think you should've kicked the guy's ass right then and there - if nothing else, it probably would have helped to strengthen your table image even further.
