Today, my guest is Greg "Fossilman" Raymer*, a professional poker player and former patent attorney. Nicknamed "Fossilman" for his unusual glasses, Greg was originally a scientist who played blackjack in graduate school as a way to make some extra income. That soon turned into poker and he went on to win the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2004 (see his winning hand below).  Now he splits his time with his 2 great loves: teaching poker and playing poker from his home base in Raleigh, North Carolina.
