HPT MISSOURI: KING OF THE HEARTLAND? RAYMER WINS ANOTHER!


Move over Will "The Thrill" Failla - there is a new king of St. Louis ... and he just may have become the King of the Heartland as well!

Just two short months after winning HPT New Mexico, former WSOP World Champion Greg Raymer (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-308th) was at it again over the weekend qualifying for final table play earlier today at the River City Casino in St. Louis ... a few hours later and Raymer was crowned champion of HPT Missouri!

Another win this season and Raymer would have to be the uncontested King of the Heartland! Raymer's attempt at a HPT Triple Play comes later this month as he has already confirmed his presence at HPT Iowa.

As for "The Thrill", he sure had the poker world buzzing when Allen Kessler convinced him at the last minute to head to St. Louis with him to play in the March edition of HPT Missouri.

Failla was unable to defend his title over the weekend in St. Louis; he was in Cannes playing the WSOP Europe Main Event.
