You don't tug on Fossilman's cape

Reigning World Series of Poker champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer is no pushover at the card table, and apparently, not in the halls of the Bellagio, either.

When a couple of would-be muggers recently attempted to brace the Fossilman as he was returning to his room at the swank Vegas joint after an evening of shuffling the pasteboards, the portly Raymer successfully fended off the attack and summoned hotel security.

This incident proves once again the folly of meddling with crazy people. A guy who wears holographic gag spectacles and brings petrified trilobites and crinoids to the poker table is liable to do just about anything.
