No you are not having a case of déjà vu, and this isn’t April 1, so it’s not a joke either. Actually I’m starting to think that the Heartland Poker Tour may be rigged. While this seems like a bold statement (and is in fact a joke) how else can you explain the run Greg Raymer has been on at HPT events in 2012. This week Raymer won his fourth HPT Main Event this year, a remarkable feat made all the more remarkable when you consider that Raymer has only played eight HPT tournaments!

It isn’t like Raymer is playing in two-table tournaments, or besting a field of first-graders either; HPT Main Events boast a $1,500 buy-in, and attract at least a couple hundred players, many of whom are top-tier tournament pros. When I saw the results this morning I initially thought I was looking at old results from his third victory; it actually took me a few minutes to realize he had won another HPT Main Event!

The remarkable four-month run at HPT events began in Albuquerque, New Mexico when Raymer defeated a field of 131 players to win his first HPT title at the end of July; the run continued with a second victory, this time in Missouri, where Raymer weaved his way through a 336 player-strong field; the 2004 WSOP Champion than pulled-off the HPT trifecta by winning the HPT Main Event in Prairie Meadows where he took advantage of the rebuy format, using five bullets on Day 1 of the tournament.

Raymer’s recent victory came at the HPT Main Event in Florence, Indiana, besting a field of 283 players on his way to the title. Here is a glimpse at the final table payouts from the event:

Greg Raymer – $106,030
Jacob Bazeley – $59,706
Bruce Ostrander – $38,088
Iverson “Cotton” Snuffer – $32,941
Jason Gwinn – $25,324
Kenny Hicks – $20,588

Before picking up win #4 on the HPT, Raymer was the only player in the tour’s history to win two events in the same season (he now has boosted that number to four), and he was also the only player to win three HPT Main Events, and now he has broken his own record with his fourth.

'It's still sinking in,' Kevin Garosshen told HPT Tournament Director Jeremy Smith after taking down the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) Hollywood St. Louis $1,650 Main Event, a tournament that drew.

Here is a look at Raymer’s previous HPT victories:

Greg Raymer put on a classic clinic at the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) Ameristar East Chicago $1,650 Main Event final table, taking down his record fifth HPT Main Event title, along with $171,411 in prize money, and a $3,500 Championship Package for the HPT Season XVI Championship at the end of the season.

'It feels great,' Raymer, the 2012 HPT Player of the Year, told HPT Tournament Director Jeremy Smith about conquering the 520-entry field, which brings him up to third on the HPT's all-time career earnings list, behind only Craig Casino and Reginald 'Shawn' Roberts. 'Every one's more special than the last.'

'Evan did not let me run him over at all. I'll definitely say luck was on my side in the heads-up play.'

Raymer overcame a 2:1 disadvantage to start-of-the-day chip leader Evan Bethyo in a wild heads-up match, which included Raymer finding a double on the very first hand with his rivered queens-up besting Bethyo's jacks-up to even the stacks.

'When I catch the queen on the river to make a better two pair, that's just luck. There's a lot of luck in poker, and there's a lot more luck in heads-up poker, because if you fold every time you don't have top pair or better, you're gonna get run over and you'll have no shot. Evan did not let me run him over at all. I'll definitely say luck was on my side in the heads-up play, for sure.'

The man many know as 'FossilMan' gets to add two trophies to his case back home in Raleigh, North Carolina; the HPT's and his fossil card protector. 'I started using a fossil as a card protector a long time ago and got the nickname 'FossilMan.' Since '08, it occurred to me that I might as well take that fossil and give it to the person that knocks me out. So every single tournament is a new fossil. This one goes in the trophy case, with all those other HPT titles, with the (WSOP) Main Event title, and every little other tournament that I've won in the last fifteen years.'

Final Table Results

Final Table Action

Big Slick did not do the trick for the first two players bounced from the final table. Benjamin Craig came into the day with eleven big blinds and a dream to spin up the short stack, and while he made a valiant effort and survived a few shoves, he eventually succumbed in ninth when he lost a classic race with his ace-king to Bethyo's pocket queens. Dale Hackney followed him out the door in eighth, as his ace-king found top two pair on the flop, but David 'The Maven' Gutfreund turned a set of eights, and Hackney found no river ace or king to save his tournament life.

Matt Schurter and Bohdan Slyvinski spent the next few levels grinding out a short stack, but both players would jam weak aces and run into ace-jack to bust in seventh and sixth respectively. Another hour would tick by before the flood gates opened up, and five players reduced to two in under twenty minutes.

First, Tim Barany three-bet shoved king-jack over a raise from Raymer, who held pocket eights. Bethyo woke up with aces and just called while Raymer elected to let his eights go. Bethyo ended up winning the hand with his aces, but Raymer would've flopped a set and likely scored a double knockout in the process. A few hands later, Bethyo three-bet shoved over a raise from Mark Yofon, who held the rockets this time, while Bethyo needed help with his pocket fours. Help came immediately when a four spiked on the flop, and Yofon couldn't find an ace to end his day in fourth.

A few hands later, Gutfreund got his last fifteen big blinds in preflop in a blind-versus-blind affair with Raymer, but Raymer's Big Slick sent 'The Maven' out the door in third.

Action-Packed Heads-Up Duel

Hpt Poker Results Pa Lottery

Bethyo started heads-up play with the chip lead, but lost it on the very first hand when his flopped jacks-up were rivered by Raymer's queens-up. The very next hand, Raymer turned a wheel when Bethyo held top pair with ace-jack, and for a moment, it seemed like there was a very real possibilty that Raymer could win the tournament in just two hands of heads-up action. Bethyo preserved his stack with a fold after Raymer shoved the river, and the duo proceeded to play on.

What proceeded was the deck providing both players with opportunity after opportunity for action, as the two deep-stacked players found themselves in plenty of interesting spots during the ninety-minute affair. Bethyo hit bottom set in a spot where Raymer flopped top pair, and Bethyo got three streets of value from Raymer to take back the chip lead. The lead didn't last long, however, and Raymer turned on the gas, catching a few bluffs from Bethyo and hitting a few flops well to turn the tide heavily back in his favor.

Bethyo managed to get a double when he hit trips against Raymer's top pair, but Raymer ground Bethyo down to around twenty big blinds before the final hand of the tournament took place. In a limped pot preflop, Bethyo flopped middle pair with queen-deuce on an ace-three-queen flop, and bet. Raymer, who held eight-three, made the call with bottom pair. Raymer struck gold with an eight on the turn, and Bethyo called off his last few blinds after Raymer check-raised him all in. A nine on the river sealed a career-best finish for Bethyo, and allowed Raymer to break the $8 million mark in career tournament earnings.

Raymer's plan for the earnings is one that will surely delight the group of investors that stake him throughout the year, something he has done for many years.

'I have a deal with people who invest in my bankroll for the entire year, and we tripled our bankroll in the first event. It all has to stay in the bankroll, it means I can play some bigger events if it fits the schedule. I only gave 'em a small profit last year, so I'm looking forward to this being the start of a huge run!'
