Ex-WSOP champion Raymer reaches final table
When the past World Series of Poker main event winners sit down this afternoon at the Rio for special free-roll game of no-limit hold’em, only one of the living champions will miss out on the action.

Greg Raymer, the 2004 world poker champion, made the final table of players in the $40,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em event that concludes sometime tonight.
