2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer is known for handing out authentic fossil card protectors to those who eliminate him, but not all players are so lucky.
Raymer, who is currently running deep in Event #61: $1,000 Super Seniors, revealed to PokerNews that his fossil giveaway comes with a "douche bag clause" that leaves some players who bust him with chips and a story, but no prehistoric card protector.
