Greg Raymer Advances to WSOP Super Seniors Final Day, Aiming to End Nearly 20-Year Bracelet Drought
2004 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer has advanced to the final day of the 2024 WSOP Super Seniors 50+ category, just one step away from his second career WSOP bracelet. He last won a bracelet in 2005, nearly 20 years ago. The final day's play will determine if he can end this long drought.
Greg Raymer Returns to Glory
The 2004 WSOP Main Event champion, known as "Fossilman," Greg Raymer is making a run at his second WSOP gold bracelet in the 2024 WSOP Super Seniors Event (open to players aged 50 and older). According to PokerNews, Raymer has successfully advanced to the final day of the event, just one day away from the championship.
Nearly 20 Years of Waiting
Raymer last won a WSOP gold bracelet in 2005, when he took down a No-Limit Texas Hold'em event. Over the nearly two decades since, he has made numerous final tables but has remained unable to capture another bracelet. This Super Seniors event offers him an excellent opportunity — the tournament is specifically designed for seasoned players, with all entrants aged 50 and older. Raymer, now 59, fits the criteria.
Final Day Outlook
The final day will feature the final table showdown, with the remaining players competing for the title and the corresponding prize money. As an experienced tournament player, Raymer possesses exceptional deep-stack skills and strong mental fortitude for high-stakes play. If he can maintain steady performance on the final day, there is a strong chance he will end his 19-year bracelet drought and add another glorious chapter to his career.
