Raymer just got eliminated. On the crippling hand, he apparently went all in preflop with KK and got called by QJs who then made a runner runner flush. That's rather disappointing but he earns $300k for his efforts.
In the meantime I am playing microlimit PL Omaha on Pokerstars and getting it shoved up my ass by the guys who play any four cards. For example, in one of my few hands that have held up, my Ace high flush came over the top for the max on the river and was called by a non-nut straight and the 9-high flush. I scooped and it was nice but they'll go to the end with anything and I'm usually not holding the nuts and can't justify staying in the pot. Ugh.
(Yes, I know it's a great situation to be in, but my patience is being tested.)
