Greg Raymer, the 2004 WSOP Champion, nearly lost more than his bracelet last week at the Bellagio. Two armed men tried to kidnap and rob the portly man last week at the Bellagio.
Raymer, who was in town for the Bellagio"s Five Diamond Classic, was returning to his room after playing a cash game in the resort"s poker room when two armed men approached him. The men, one of whom was identified as Deen Cassin of Las Vegas, attempted to abduct Raymer and rob him. Bellagio security reportedly stated that Raymer had a large sum of cash on him.
Cassin, described as a "wannabe" high stakes poker player, is wanted by Las Vegas Metro Police. The other assailant was not identified. Raymer reportedly successful fought off the 5"8, 160 pound Cassin before the suspects fled the scene.

Greg "fossilman" Raymer svarer selv i tråden.
The story is mostly true. Two men, at least one of them carrying a gun, tried to rob me as I went into my room at the Bellagio. Despite being alone at the time the attempt started, and one of them having a gun, I still beat them both off and made them run away. If it weren"t for the gun, I would"ve chased them down the hallway, and smashed their faces in as they waited for the elevator.
The story is wrong in two particulars. I don"t carry large sums of cash, unless you consider five hundred to a thousand a large sum, and I"m not portly. I"m muscular and fat. These guys were 5"9" and 6"3", and combined outweighed me by a lot (the tall guy was a lot bigger than me). Yet I still beat them off, and came out of this with no injuries other than a slight abrasion on one shoulder.
I don"t write this to brag, I just want any robbery-minded people out there who hear about this to know that I"m a tough mark, and they won"t get that much off me even if they succeed. And if they do succeed, they"ll either go to jail, or I"ll find them myself and make them wish they"d gone to jail. I"m a very nice guy, super-easygoing, and am friends with pretty much everybody I meet, but if you f*ck with my life or my family, I"m going to f*ck you back and then some.

Raymer almost robbed at the Be
Han skulle bare have taget sine WSOP ´04-solbriller på, så var røverne løbet af skræk...for de er fandme grimme..! :)
Man er jo nok desværre target for galninge som pro gambler i USA...kan også huske at Doyle Brunson engang i sine unge dage blev truet og berøvet med en pistol af nogle bad guys mens han kun stod i underbukser!!!
Hilsen Daniel
han er godt nok sej ham fossilman
Ok det er sku bad-ass...
"If it weren"t for the gun, I would"ve chased them down the hallway, and smashed their faces in as they waited for the elevator."
Så sparker man sku røv.
Raymer har en super-stærk finger muskulatur af at spille på nettet.
Så vidt jeg har hørt, så fik den største af røverne en dosis af kampsporten "short-hand combat" - vist nok et double-click right mouse button-grip til skulderbladet......den anden flygtede i panik!!

Sjov "historie"!
Hvem tør så meget som et "blinds stealing" forsøg fra dealer position mod den mand nu? :-)
Efter at have læst Amarillos bog er det utroligt "sjovt" at der stadig sker sådanne ting den dag i dag.
Garanteret matusow gemmer sig nu.
