The official Greg WORLD CHAMPION Raymer Thread

[Ulysses]

Congrat to Greg, outstanding tournament.

Here's what we know. Greg won a lot of big coinflips. Greg's made hands in big pots always seemed to hold up. Greg came from behind at the final table a couple of times to win big pots. That's stuff all of us could do.

Here's what I want to know:

5M pot v. Arieh. Third club on the river. Greg moves in. Holy cow, if that was a huge bluff, that was an incredibly strong move. That's really THE hand I'm anxiously awaiting to find out about!

There were a few other big moves like that where we don't know what Greg had. I can't wait to see those hands on ESPN.

And, Greg, fantastic play on the last hand. Like the call pre-flop and the raise size on the turn. Williams couldn't fathom a pocket pair there. Nice.

Well, it happened just like I have dreamed about it a few hundred times...a 2+2 lawyer who goes on to win the WSOP!

Although you did not actually fit into any of those dreams...great job, Greg...that's awesome!

Congrats Greg! I am FAR more excited about this than I really should be, but it really feels like a friend of mine won (although we have never met). What an incredible week for you!!

We all now get the privilege of telling folks 'We knew him when...'. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Greg -

Your advice and analysis have always been helpful. Obviously your play is even better.

Great Job - Congatulations

He seems like a very helpful guy, and also one who often congratulate fellow posters here on their success in tournaments smaller than WSOP. Time for everyone else to congratulate him for his awesome performance for the whole tourney.
