Gregory Raymer is best known for winning the 2004 World Series of Poker main event, and for the opaque holographic sunglasses that he wears during hands.
After moving to Stonington, Connecticut in 1999, Raymer began playing poker at Foxwoods Resort Casino while he was working as a patent lawyer for a pharmaceutical company.
At the 2004 World Series, Raymer defeated David Williams to win the $5,000,000 first prize in the $10,000 no limit Texas hold 'em WSOP main event. Raymer received the entry fee to the tournament by winning a $160 satellite event on PokerStars, just like the 2003 winner, Chris Moneymaker. Raymer is now a representative of PokerStars, alongside Moneymaker and the 2005 World Series of Poker champion Joe Hachem.
Raymer went on to finish in 25th place in the 2005 WSOP Main Event, earning him $304,680. This has been described by his peers as one of the most incredible achievements in poker, considering the rapidly increasing field of players in the Main Event every year.
Raymer appeared in Poker Superstars III but was eliminated in the preliminaries.
As of 2005, his total live tournament winnings execeed $5,600,000
In March 2006, Raymer (as "Fossilman") took 2nd place in the first quarterly $1,000,000 guaranteed tournament on PokerStars, winning over $180,000 in a field of over 1500 tournament players.
Raymer is nicknamed "Fossilman" because of his hobby of collecting fossils. He uses a small fossil as a card protector while he plays poker. Early in his poker career he would supplement his bankroll by selling fossils to other players at his table.
